The process planning and scheduling issues of intelligent and distributed manufacturing are now crucial due to the need for enterprises to be adaptive, re-configurable, collaborative and flexible enough to support the emergence of worldwide competition and dynamic and mass-customized markets. Thus, more effective and efficient decision-making techniques are needed. Unlike traditional methodologies, this is the first book to focus on emerging technologies for distributed intelligent decision-making in process planning and dynamic scheduling. It consists of two sections: a review of several key areas of research, and an in-depth treatment of particular techniques. Each chapter addresses a specific problem domain and offers practical solutions to solve it. Given the essential role manufacturing plays in the economic development of all industrial nations, this book will interest academic researchers, practising engineers and graduate students. TOC:An Effective Approach for Distributed Process Planning Enabled by Event-Driven Function Blocks.- Web-based Polishing Process Planning Using Data Mining Techniques.- Integration of Rule-based Process Selection with Virtual Machining for Distributed Manufacturing Planning.- CyberCut: A Coordinated Pipeline of Design, Process Planning and Manufacture.- Process Planning, Scheduling and Control for One-of-a-Kind Production.- Setup Planning and Tolerance Analysis.- Scheduling in Holonic Manufacturing Systems.- Agent-based Dynamic Scheduling for Distributed Manufacturing.- A Multi-agent System Implementation of an Evolutionary Approach to Production Scheduling.- Distributed Scheduling in Multiple-factory Production with Machine Maintenance.- Resource Scheduling for a Virtual CIM System.- A Unified Model-based Integration of Process Planning and Scheduling.- A Study on Integrated Process Planning and Scheduling System for Holonic Manufacturing.- Managing Dynamic Demand Events in Semiconductor Manufacturing Chains by Optimal Control Modelling.- A Parameter Perturbation Approach to Replanning Operations.- STEP into Distributed Manufacturing with STEP-NC. eBook Springer PDF, Springer, 14.05.2007, Springer, 2007<

Manufacturing has been one of the key areas that support and influence a nation’s economy since the 18th century. Being the primary driving force in economic growth, manufacturing constantly serves as the foundation of and contributes to other industries with products ranging from heavy-duty machinery to hi-tech home electronics. In the past centuries, manufacturing has contributed significantly to modern civilisation and created momentum that is used to drive today’s economy. Despite various revolutionary changes and innovations in the 20th century that contributed to manufacturing advancements, we are still facing new challenges when striving to achieve greater success in winning global competitions. Today, distributed manufacturing is unforeseeably coming into being due to recent business decentralisation and manufacturing outsourcing. Manufacturers are competing in a dynamic marketplace that demands short response time to changing markets and agility in production. In the 21st century, manufacturing is gradually shifting to a distributed environment with increasing dynamism. In order to win a competition, locally or globally, customer satisfaction is treated with priority. This leads to mass customisation and even more complex manufacturing processes, from shop floors to every level along manufacturing supply chains. At the same time, outsourcing has forged a multi-tier supplier structure with numerous small-- medium-sized enterprises involved, where highly-mixed products in small batch sizes are handled simultaneously in job-shop operations., Springer<
