Abstract
Agility can be achieved through the partnership of different companies sharing resources, information, and manufacturing capabilities. In a virtual enterprise, products are manufactured by a network of geographically distributed manufacturing partners. In order to achieve the necessary degree of agility, the distributed manufacturing processes have to be efficiently coordinated to timely react to the changing environment. In this paper, an approach to reengineering manufacturing processes is presented. The approach involves the Integrated Definition 3 (IDEF3) methodology, decomposing the manufacturing process based on similarity of resources, and scheduling the resultant Petri nets. Specifically, a sequential cluster identification algorithm is developed to decompose a manufacturing system represented as an IDEF3 model. A scheduling approach is presented to generate an aggregated schedule from sub Petri net models. The computational experience shows that the methodology developed in this paper reduces the computational time of solving the scheduling problem without significantly affecting its solution quality.
