Abstract

In order to solve the problem of the deadlock situation which usually happens in the process of Re-entrant Flexible Flow-shop with Limited Buffer Scheduling (RFFLBS), this paper focuses on the study of Dynamic Buffer Reservation Method Based on Markov Chain, DBRM-MC. The occurrence of the deadlock situation will be reduced by actively reserving buffer capacity for reentry jobs to reduce the competition for other buffer resources from non-reentrant processes. The mathematical model of RFFLBS is established and the simulation test is carried out. The test results show that the dynamic buffer reservation method based on Markov Chain can effectively decreases the deadlock situation.
