Manufacturing resources coordination organisation and tasks allocation approach inspired by the endocrine regulation principle

To solve the manufacturing resources coordination and tasks allocation problem in dynamic manufacturing environments, a mathematical model, aiming to minimise tardiness penalties and reduce manufacturing cost, is established. Considering the influences of the emergency in the manufacturing system, a novel task allocation approach, based on the hormone regulation principle, is proposed. This proposed approach is characterised by high efficiency, low communication, and fine robustness. The experimental results verify that this coordination approach not only can reduce processing costs effectively in a static environment but also has a good control performance against disturbances in a dynamic environment.
