General Architecture

Manufacturing systems need to integrate information from several sources, manage their business processes and coordinate the shop floor in order to meet the schedule at reduced costs. Holonic manufacturing has been proposed to solve these problems and has been normally implemented using agents. However, these implementations are not widely used due to their cost and limited interoperability. In this work, an approach that combines a service-oriented architecture with a multi-agent system is proposed. A list of rules is designed for deciding how to implement each holon, and is applied to the level 3 activities of ISA-95. The adoption of an enterprise service bus is suggested for decoupling service consumers and producers, and using a complex event processing engine is recommended to detect trends from the day-to-day operations of a plant. This approach is then applied to a grinded ceramic tile manufacturing plant, deriving a general architecture and an implementation of a service-based holon based on the ISA-95 object model, with a human-facing side (a website) and a machine-facing side (a Web Service).

Manufacturing Network

The nature of service-oriented manufacturing network is modular service network for capacity need based. The difference in service capability increases the manufacturing networks’ uncertainty, making the choice of supplier more complex. A strategy for supplier selection applying FWNN (fuzzy wavelet neural network) was presented in this paper. The first stage makes use of fuzzy system, with strong competency in knowledge representation, to convert fuzzy input parameters into crisp parameters. The artificial neural network was applied to overcome adverse effects resulting from supplier selection of non-liner and dynamic property in the second stage. The simulation was made to check the performance of the algorithm. The result indicates that this method can overcome the insufficiencies of subjectivity, arbitrariness, complicated algorithm and fuzzy input parameters in supplier selection, which realizes real-time dynamic evaluation and rapid selection under the service-oriented manufacturing environment, and its maximum relative error is less than 0.4841%.

Staff Members

Staff members at a movie company Daiei, known for presumably the world’s best film technology, continued to produce movies for several months even after the company went bankrupt. It was because they desired to make outstanding films. A director can create a high-quality film by combining the skills and ideas of such staff. Akira Kurosawa named the group that could produce excellent works the “Community of Talents”. By using research on a community as a clue, this paper aims to highlight how the “Community of Talents” is organized. First I point out that a “Community of Talents” is formulated primarily by the labor of the staff based on Kumazawa’s “Community on the Shop Floor”. The paper subsequently refers to research by Heinrich Nicklish, a representative researcher on the study of community in Germany, in an attempt to verify that the community is a group of people established on functions. Lastly, the paper explores Guido Fisher’s research to reveal the role of democratic leadership centered on the director who transforms the objectified staff in the organization into an independently-minded presence and help them prove their abilities. The paper continues to emphasize the significance of leadership in the formation of the “Community of Talents”.
