Abstract :
The purpose of dynamic routing in FMS is to achieve real-time load balancing in a stochastic processing environment and thus to increase the performance of the system, in throughput, workload balance and reduced in-process queues. We formulate and develop a stationary policy based on the input buffer state of each station.
