Within the H2020 European ASSISTANT project (LeArning and robuSt
deciSIon SupporT sytems for agile mANufacTuring environments),
this thesis aims to develop an intelligent digital twin for production
planning to help production managers operate an agile factory.
This twin extends advance planning systems with artificial intelligence
and data analytics to take advantage of the massive amount
of data generated on the shop floor and external data sources to yield
better planning decisions. More specifically, it will be a decision
support tool that helps production directors adjust the production
capacity to demand (e.g., specifying the shop floor configuration,
setting the worker requirements, subcontracting labor, setting the
number of functional assembly lines, etc), and places orders of necessary
components to the suppliers. This twin will yield robust decisions to
hedge against various sources of uncertainties such as demand,
production defects, process durations, etc.
