| Abstract | We investigated management of an automated job shop with an unpredictable job stream and randomly failing machines. The shop used automated materials handling to move jobs between automated machines, so that entering and removing jobs were the only manual operations, excluding maintenance and repair. The stochastic nature of the shop precluded a traditional scheduling approach. We devised a system based on dynamic allocation of machines to jobs under a distributed data flow control architecture. The data flow architecture reduced sensitivity to machine failures, and simplified dynamic allocation. It also simplified shop expansion. Unexpectedly, machine utilizations exceeded 93% for machine failure rates below 16% in a simulated shop with machine and job stream characteristics typical of contemporary Computer-integrated Manufacturing Systems (CMS). For this typical job shop, dynamic allocation produced utilizations comparable to those expected from scheduling. Machine utilization in contemporary job shops seldom exceeds 70%. Our paper describes the architecture and the experiments, and speculates on reasons for the high utilizations. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
