Abstract
We suggest a market-like framework for scheduling and shop floor contr ol in computer-controlled manufacturing systems where each resource ag ent and part agent acts like an independent profit maker. A part-resou rce negotiation procedure is suggested including price-based bid const ruction and price revising mechanism. Alternative routings for each pr oduction order are considered in scheduling and shop floor control. A simulation-based scheduling method is suggested to estimate the start time and the completion time of each task. We develop a prototype soft ware which utilizes the object-oriented concept.
