Abstract
In a highly competitive environment, effective production is one of the key issues which can be addressed by efficient production planning and scheduling in the manufacturing system. This paper develops an agent-based architecture which enables integration of production planning and scheduling. In addition, this architecture will facilitate real time production scheduling as well as provide a multi-agent system (MAS) platform on which multiple agents will interact to each other. A case study of job-shop manufacturing system (JMS) has been considered in this paper for implementing the concept of MAS. The modeling of JMS has been created in SimEvents which integrates an agent-based architecture developed by Stateflow to transform into dynamic JMS. Finally, the agent-based architecture is evaluated using utilization of each machine in the shop floor with respect to time.
