Abstract

The matrix-structured manufacturing system represents an alternative manufacturing concept that strives for both a volume and variant flexible production while still being efficient. The manufacturing system is a modular and cycle-independent production principle in which all existing workstations are linked together. By using intelligent decentralized control logic, the assignment of workpieces to workstations is enabled. Due to the functional principle of a matrix-structured manufacturing system, the material requirements at the individual workstations are not known in advance. The behavior of different material supply strategies can be investigated with the help of an agent-based simulation. In this context, the objective of this paper is to model and analyze selected material supply strategies with regard to selected key figures in an agent-based simulation environment.
