Abstract

See full text

A computerized task scheduler for negotiating and scheduling resources with respect to various manufacturing tasks via computerized agent technology. A manufacturing-related customer asks a computerized uniform process broker for a bid on a manufacturing task by specifying the task and the time when it is to be completed. The computerized uniform process broker finds a computerized resource broker which will perform the assignment at the lowest cost within the requested time frame. The computerized resource brokers use the requested time frame and their respective current available resources to determine a working window in which they can perform the task and at what cost. The determination of resources by the computerized resource brokers includes calculating their respective percentage of total commitment based upon the interrelationship between the working window and the time it actually takes to complete the task.
