Abstract :
In this paper, production planning problems in the production system which consists of several plants are studied. First, we formalize a way of representing a problem by introducing two kinds of models: a physical model and an information model. The physical model is used for simulating the process of manufacturing activities, and the information model is used for a decision making on production planning and scheduling. In designing the information model, an autonomous decentralized approach is adopted and some typical structures of the model are reformulated. Then, the genetic algorithm is implemented to solve the planning problems as the information model. Through some computational examples with some simple production planning problems, the possibility and the effectiveness of the proposed approach is investigated
