Titel
Petri net based modelling, planning and control of logistical processes under environmental goals and constraints
Abstract
Monitoring the discussion on environmental issues, modelling, planning and controlling logistical processes (manufacturing, transport, assembly etc.) under environmental goals and constraints become one of the biggest challenges at the next centuries. Although logistics and environmental issues have been subject to research activities, the integration of both aspects into one concept of an environmental oriented production management system (EPMS) has not been addressed yet. In this paper a Petri-net based concept to describe, evaluate and optimise logistical processes pursuing evironmental goals and constraints is proposed, starting from rough planning (e.g. feasibility-check) until job shop control (e.g. scheduling and sequencing).
