class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The project objective is&nbsp;to face the real complexity of the production scheduling problem in the supply chain environment in the ceramic sector. Traditionally, the production scheduling problem has been modelled in an attempt to simplify as much as possible the conditions in the environment, and to improve, in most cases, a single performance parameter. However,&nbsp;this project takes us closer to a much more complex reality from both the environment point of view (requirements and restrictions) and the objectives point of view.<\/p><p>The environment intended to be modelled in&nbsp;this project must reflect the dynamic conditions of constant change that correspond to the ceramic supply chain; e.g. dynamic entry of jobs, non-availability of machines through breakdown, sequence-dependent delivery times (paving and coating factory), close locations of the various chain components, variation in components, relationships and the chain\u2019s requirements, etc.<\/p><p>Regarding the objectives, the project will take into account the combination of objectives\/interests which, at various levels (supply chain, companies, other processes-planning, purchases, sales, etc.), are affected by the decisions made during the Production scheduling process.&nbsp;In the project a scheduling method will be proposed, based on an agreement reached by the parties, to achieve overall company profits. Performance measures raised from an exclusive scheduler viewpoint (average flow time, deviation from the delivery date, etc.), may not benefit the general interest, especially in a changing environment.<\/p><p>To meet the project purposes, the&nbsp;use of Multi-agent Systems is proposed. Agent-based software paradigm development proves able to provide solutions to problems in open and dynamic environments. Multi-agent systems is the scientific and professional community\u2019s current proposal to deal with distributed problems with complex solutions.<\/p><p>During the project work will be done to define a&nbsp;meta model and a meta-ontology of the complete problem, and will develop agent-based methodologies and algorithms by defining a meta-organisation from a multi-agent system&nbsp;that allows a negotiated solution to the problem to be found.&nbsp;Decision-making help tools&nbsp;will be proposed based on de facto&nbsp;standards&nbsp;in the world of applications development with agents, whose objective is that they are affordable for companies, and are&nbsp;open&nbsp;to allow interoperability and easy maintenance.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3afbb0f e-con-full cf-foot e-flex e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"3afbb0f\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bb0368e cf-funding elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"bb0368e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1152\" src=\"https:\/\/cigip.webs.upv.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/SimboloGeneralitat-768x1152-1.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-7682\" alt=\"Logo Generalitat Valenciana\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cigip.webs.upv.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/SimboloGeneralitat-768x1152-1.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cigip.webs.upv.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/SimboloGeneralitat-768x1152-1-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/cigip.webs.upv.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/SimboloGeneralitat-768x1152-1-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/cigip.webs.upv.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/elementor\/thumbs\/SimboloGeneralitat-768x1152-1-qkdmvco7oq75ln3dtzplaq5fwdbi10qgtnmt2fw4po.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8420cd3 cf-back elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"8420cd3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><a href=\"\/en\/research\/regional-rd-projects-check\/\">\u2190 Back to Regional R&#038;D projects<\/a><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Regional R&amp;D project \u2013 2004 Agent &#8211; flow: negatiated solution to the real problem of collaborative production programming of processes in the ceramics industry Project details Reference GV04A\/543 Execution period 01\/01\/2004 &#8211; 01\/01\/2006 Type Research projects Amount 14,186 \u20ac Funding body CONSELLERIA DE EMPRESA, UNIVERSITAT I CIENCIA Principal investigator Garc\u00eda Sabater, Jos\u00e9 Pedro CIGIP team [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_eb_attr":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[661],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4096","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-proyectos-regionales-2004"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cigip.webs.upv.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4096","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cigip.webs.upv.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cigip.webs.upv.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cigip.webs.upv.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cigip.webs.upv.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4096"}],"version-history":[{"count":13,"href":"https:\/\/cigip.webs.upv.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4096\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":14288,"href":"https:\/\/cigip.webs.upv.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4096\/revisions\/14288"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cigip.webs.upv.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4096"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cigip.webs.upv.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4096"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cigip.webs.upv.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4096"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
