ABSTRACT:
In a scheduling system for planning and scheduling production in an industrial production system, which scheduled production is to be executed by the production system under control of a manufacturing execution system, the scheduling system is a multi-agent scheduling system. At least a part of the behavior of the agents in the multi-agent system is customizable by visually defined scheduling rules. The scheduling system and manufacturing execution system share a definition and execution environment having an editor that visually defines both the scheduling rules and control rules of the manufacturing execution system, and an execution engine for executing the scheduling rules and control rules and making scheduling decisions based on an execution of the scheduling rules and control rules.
