Abstract

A dynamic and real-time system integrating reinforcement learning with simulation is designed for job-shop scheduling. Several stochastic variables are introduced to transform the job-shop scheduling problem into sequential decision problem. The model environment of job-shop scheduling is built by simulation for obtaining the system performance indices and ensuring the feasibility of the solution. Then, a multi-agent Q-learning algorithm integrated with simulation is developed to solve the job-shop problem. Finally, simulation and optimization experiments show the effectiveness of the system.
