A flexible manufacturing system (FMS) due to its ability of being flexible in nature is
concerned with automatic production of different parts in medium range. In short, it can be …

The production scheduling problem allocates limited resources to tasks over time and
determines the sequence of operations so that the constraints of the system are met and the …

Flexible manufacturing systems (FMS) have been developed with the hope that they would
provide a means to tackle a threefold challenge—better quality, lower cost and shorter lead …

Multi-mode and multi-resource constrained scheduling of a project is a complex task. This
paper addresses the use of a Petri net as a modelling and scheduling tool in this context …

In recent times flexible manufacturing systems emerged as a powerful technology to meet
the continuous changing customer demands. Increase in the performance of flexible …

Despite the efforts in developing Petri net models for manufacturing control and scheduling,
the generation of Petri net models cannot be automated for agile manufacturing control and …

This paper proposes an integrated hierarchical control and scheduling scheme based on
Petri net formalism for flexible manufacturing cells (FMCs). The proposed scheme is divided …

Conventional management tools are restricted in their application. This paper details the use
of Petri nets (PNs) in project management. In this context, the benefits of PNs are indicated …

In recent years both industry and the academic world are becoming more and more
interested in techniques to model, analyse and control complex systems such as flexible …

Traditional project management tools and other revised tools are limited in representation of
the problem and in dealing situation dynamically. This paper details the use of Petri nets as …
