Resource allocation systems (RASs) belong to a kind of discrete event system commonly
seen in the industry. In such systems, available resources are allocated to concurrently …

In this paper, we investigate the impact of rescheduling policies in the event of both rework
and reconditioning in job shop manufacturing systems. Since these events occur in …

This paper introduces significant improvements on a previous published work that
addresses complex production scheduling problems using Petri nets (PNs) and genetic …

In this paper we propose the GAPN (genetic algorithms and Petri nets) approach, which
combines the modelling power of Petri nets with the optimisation capability of genetic …

This paper introduces a Petri net-based approach for scheduling manufacturing systems
with blocking. The modelling of the job routings and the resource and blocking constraints is …

This paper introduces a new Petri Net based approach for resource allocation and
scheduling. The goals are (i) minimize the number of required resources given a set of …

The coloured Petri net formalism has been recently used to analyse and optimise
manufacturing systems making use of the state space (SS) analysis. This approach has …

A Flexible Manufacturing System (FMS) is an integrated, computer-controlled system of
machines, automated handling systems, and storage systems that can be used to …

This paper presents practical implementation of computer support for an effectiveness
analysis of queue algorithms in flexible manufacturing systems (FMSs). A proposed model …

To gain competitive advantage in the global market, manufacturers have to quickly adapt
their systems to respond to fluctuating customer demands under high-quality service factors …
