Abstract:
Since consideration of individual customer demands is of increasing importance, enterprises are in need of more flexible production for highly customized products even in serial production. Hence, innovative concepts for improved information logistics are necessary for competitive manufacturing. This paper presents an approach for integrated agent-based process planning and production control and focuses on further applications like temporal logistics networks, which will gain benefit from agent technology. Due to broad application of techniques like multiagent systems and bottom-up integration of innovative management concepts, a new kind of inter-enterprise cooperation will arise, which will lead to emerging virtual enterprises.
