Feasibility evaluation of multi-site scheduling by distributed simulation of workshops
Résumé
In this article, a distributed simulation tool for the feasibility evaluation of multi-site scheduling is proposed. The application areas concern supply chains or networks of cooperating and distributed workshops. The distributed simulation of workshops, called virtual workshops, generates various problems of causality and of tasks execution coordination. These problems are addressed in the proposed distributed architecture by the use of HLA protocol guaranteeing the synchronization and the chronology of events. An application to a simple case of supply chain organizing the flow between three workshops shows the effectiveness of the distributed simulation tool.
