Changeable and flexible manufacturing and assembly systems are presently considered a key new technology for meeting the current challenges of increased global competition and the dynamic unpredictable markets. This research program aims at the development of important logical enablers, namely process planning and scheduling, for these advanced changeable manufacturing environments and varying product designs and extending the knowledge of manufacturing systems by introduction of novel planning methods and mathematical models. It targets three primary areas and research issues that lie at the product/system interface domain: 1) Development of a hybrid process planning and design methodology that would combine the merits of both retrieval- and generative-based planning as well as the popular Group Technology methods and platform formation at the product level. 2) Development of conceptually novel methods for planning, which are proving to be of far better computational complexity and at the same time more suitable to today's changeable manufacturing environments. Both novel mathematical programming methods and non-traditional optimization are considered. 3) Developing novel methods for preemptive production scheduling of dynamic flexible job shops. 4) Interfacing and integrating both upstream design activities as well as downstream production scheduling and system reconfiguration with process design and scheduling. Development and integration within state-of-the-art Product Lifecycle Management solutions are targeted, and eventually it turning into an available Canadian commercial off-the-shelf product. Finally, integration with production planning and scheduling is also being investigated. This research will contribute to the training of both graduate and undergraduate students. It is expected to make significant contributions to the science and knowledge of manufacturing systems, and hence the ability of Canadian companies to compete globally. Results and application are expected to cover both the aerospace and automotive industries.

目前，可变且灵活的制造和组装系统被认为是应对全球竞争加剧和动态不可预测市场的当前挑战的关键新技术。该研究计划旨在开发重要的逻辑推动因素，即处理计划和调度，以针对这些高级可更改的制造环境以及不同的产品设计，并通过引入新颖的计划方法和数学模型来扩展制造系统的知识。它针对产品/系统界面领域的三个主要领域和研究问题：1）开发混合过程计划和设计方法，该方法将结合基于检索和生成的计划的优点，以及在产品级别上流行的集团技术方法和平台形成。 2）开发概念上新颖的计划方法，这些方法被证明具有更好的计算复杂性，同时更适合当今可变的制造环境。考虑了新型的数学编程方法和非传统优化。 3）开发用于动态灵活车间的先发制人生产计划的新颖方法。 4）通过过程设计和调度进行连接和集成上游设计活动以及下游生产计划和系统重新配置。最先进的产品生命周期管理解决方案中的开发和集成是针对的，最终变成了加拿大可用的商业现成产品。最后，还正在研究与生产计划和日程安排的集成。 这项研究将有助于培训研究生和本科生。预计它将为制造系统的科学和知识做出重大贡献，从而为加拿大公司在全球竞争的能力。结果和应用预计将涵盖航空航天和汽车行业。
