Abstract
In flexible manufacturing systems (FMS), the competition of shared resources by different jobs often causes deadlocks. Due to state-space explosion in FMS, to quickly obtain a deadlock-free, maximally permissive (optimal), and structurally simple supervisor is very important for such systems. In this talk, an iterative method of lexicographic multiobjective integer linear programming (ILP) is formulated to design such an optimal supervisor with a simple structure. Instead of a single linear programming problem, several much smaller ILPs are formulated via the proposed iterative method, and they can be solved much faster. In addition, an efficient redundancy identification method is proposed for ILP to further reduce its solution time.
