A Neural Network Based Scheduling System for Flexible Manufacturing Cells

August 1, 1996
Author(s)
Albert T. Jones, Ying Sun, Yuehwern Yih, Luis C. Rabelo
To meet dynamic market demands and manage uncertainty during production, a flexible scheduling system is essential. In this paper we present a neural network-based scheduling system that is able to adapt different scheduling strategies dynamically, based

Controlling Activities in a Virtual Manufacturing Cell

May 1, 1996
Author(s)
Michael Iuliano, Albert W. Jones
Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology are developing a virtual manufacturing cell. This cell will contain simulation models of a wide range of manufacturing equipment, processes, and systems. It will have commercial and

Job Shop Scheduling

May 1, 1996
Author(s)
Albert T. Jones, Luis C. Rabelo, Yuehwern Yih
A large number of approaches to the modeling and solution of job shop scheduling problems have been reported in the OR literature, with varying degrees of success. These approaches revolve around a series of technological advances that have occurred over

Hierarchical Control in a Virtual Manufacturing Facility

January 1, 1996
Author(s)
Michael Iuliano, Albert W. Jones
Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology are developing a virtual manufacturing cell, which will facilitate standards development and testing. This cell will contain simulation models of a wide range of manufacturing equipment

A Neural Network Based Cell Controller for Automated Manufacturing Cells

June 1, 1995
Author(s)
Albert T. Jones, Yuehwern Yih, Ying Sun
In this paper, we describe an adaptive controller for automated manufacturing cells. The controller inputs desired performance targets and job characteristics and outputs tasks sequences for each piece of equipment in the cell. It contains an adjustment

Simulation: State of the Art in Japan

September 1, 1994
Author(s)
Albert W. Jones
This report summarizes the state of the art of simulation research and development in Japan. This summary is divided into three parts. In part one, we provide a translation of a paper that was published in Journal of the Operations Research Society of

SIMA Reference Architecture Part I: Activity Models

July 1, 1987
Author(s)
Edward J. Barkmeyer Jr., Neil Christopher, Shaw C. Feng, James E. Fowler, Simon P. Frechette, Albert T. Jones, Kevin K. Jurrens, Charles R. McLean, Mike Pratt, Harry A. Scott, M. K. Senehi, Ram D. Sriram, Evan K. Wallace
This report describes the activities and information flows inherent in the product realization process for discrete electro-mechanical parts and products. That is, it describes the technical functions which must be performed to take a part/product from
