Manufacturing intelligent agent simulation has not been
widely applied in industry because of its application
complexity. This complexity, which includes choosing
priority machines or jobs, determining machine maintenance
schedules, and allocating working shifts and breaks,
requires intelligent decision making. Manufacturing systems
are strongly influenced by intelligent decision makers.
Especially for...
A method was developed to formulate and solve a fifty-year tactical harvest scheduling problem that included spatial wildlife habitat goals and constraints for a 4800-acre watershed in Northwestern Oregon under four scenarios. Three goals and two habitat constraints were included in each scenario. The first goal was a volume goal....
