Failure in FMS includes two aspects: equipment breakdown and tool failure of which should be considered in an excellent FMS scheduling system. Most of past scheduling researches have only discussed the former and the analysis of the latter rarely seen in relevant papers. The scheduling system without tool failure processing seems to be not coincident to the actually production in which tool breakdowns are very common. This paper gives a dynamic scheduling simulation model with concern of the two kind failure using Object-Oriented technology and Colored Petri Net (OOCPN). Rescheduling strategy of tool failure is proposed and the simulation analysis is given which shows that our model and principle are effective and adaptable to actual case.

The hull job shop in a shipyard is a typical flexible manufacturing system (FMS), the flexibility and efficiency of which largely depends on the level of FMS scheduling. In this paper, the Object-Oriented Colored Petri Net (OOCPN) is used to build the FMS model for the hull job shop. A four-step modeling method of FMS has been developed to successfully simulate the scheduling of the hull job shop.

A very fast scheduling system is proposed and experimentally investigated. The system consists of a job shop manager and dynamic models of machines. A schedule is created in the course of a close cooperation with models of the machines that generate driving events for the scheduler. The system is implemented with a new class of extended Petri nets and runs in the environment of the Petri-net tool WINSIM. The scheduler creates a schedule sequentially, without any form of enumerative search. To investigate the scheduler performance, a large number of experiments were conducted with the use of few strategies. Due to a unique mechanism of monitoring of triggering events in the Petri net, the developed scheduler runs at least hundreds of times faster than any known single-processor job shop scheduler.

Abstract In this paper, FMS scheduling problems are modeled by timed Petri nets. The timed Petri nets can model the important characteristics of FMSs such as routing flexibility, shared resources, precedence relationships among operations, concurrency, synchronization and lot sizes. So the Petri net model of an FMS scheduling problem which reflects the given constraints would limit the search within the feasible schedule space. By making use of a heuristic scheduling algorithm which satisfies the lower bound condition of the algorithm A*, the search space can be further reduced and an optimal path can be found. This new scheduling approach which combines Petri net modeling with heuristic search can effectively handle with the structural complexity and computational complexity of FMS scheduling problems.
