A Study of Concurrent Integrated Process Planning Architecture and Cooperative Model in Holonic Manufacturing System

Holonic manufacturing systems is one of the important contents in next generation manufacturing systems-intelligent manufacturing systems. A study of process planning architecture in holonic manufacturing systems was performed; a concurrent model of process planning was presented to integrate the information in computer-aided design and production scheduling systems, the holonic architecture for CIPPS is developed and the cooperative model for CIPPS is established and discussed.
