Abstract
The purpose of this chapter is to obtain asymptotic optimal open-loop hierarchical controls in single product dynamic flowshops, defined in §2.2.3 and studied in Chapter 4, using a piecewise-deterministic process approach. A dynamic flowshop consists of m ≥ 2 machines in tandem and contains internal buffers between any two machines. Since the inventories in any of the internal buffers cannot be allowed to become negative, we must impose nonnegativity constraints on these inventories.
