Finally, some innovative aspects for agile scheduling are introduced, particularly in the context of virtual enterprise environments.
The multi-agent systems paradigm represents one of the most promising approaches to the development of agile scheduling systems in manufacturing.
Innovative and balanced perspectives of multi-agent approaches to agile scheduling are discussed in this paper, and several achieved results and current developments are described.
Chu et al. [11] have used branch demarcation to effectively solve the real-time scheduling problem of the dual agile satellite system, and the autonomous scheduling method of clustering is likely to be a research direction in the future.
It has attracted a lot of attention due to its remarkable advantages, e.g., throughput optimality (i.e., it can stabilize a network when the arrival rates lie within the capacity region of the network), achievable adaptive resource allocation, support to stateless and agile load-aware routing and scheduling, and simplicity.
In their experience report [P8], Huang et al. describe how the organisational structure and process for developing high technology satellites could be modified according to the agile principles to meet cost and schedule requirements.
Leaders who are learning agile build reflection time in their schedules.
They schedule frequent meetings with members of agile teams, forcing them to skip working sessions or send substitutes.
A new modeling approach to analyze the impact of schedule pressure on the economic effectiveness of agile maintenance process is presented in this paper.
Simulated experiments performed with real PSE job data and other Cloud scheduling policies indicate that our proposal allows for a more agile job handling while reducing PSE completion time.
Companies should leverage tools like flexible schedules, remote work, and freelance projects to be nimble and agile enough to compete.
