Description

Modern manufacturing faces a growing challenge: traditional centralized systems often lack the speed needed for mass customization. This book provides a deep look into decentralized, or heterarchical, management systems that use autonomous agents to solve these limitations. By moving away from hierarchical structures, companies can reach higher levels of agility and performance. As part of the APICS Series on Resource Management, this text offers a comprehensive survey of existing literature and real-world practical applications. To make complex concepts easy to follow, the book uses a realistic example of a fictitious firm throughout the chapters. This approach helps readers understand exactly when and how agent-based systems should be implemented to achieve peak performance in a modern production environment.

Key Features

Explore decentralized management systems that use autonomous agents to overcome the limitations of traditional hierarchical manufacturing structures.

Learn how to implement heterarchical systems to better respond to the increasing market demand for mass customization.

Gain a thorough understanding of both academic literature and practical applications of agent-based technology in manufacturing.

Follow a realistic case study of a fictitious firm used throughout the book to demonstrate real-world system implementation.

Part of the APICS Series on Resource Management, providing professional insights into modern agile manufacturing solutions.
