Abstract	This paper reports on a development process for determining a suitable algorithm for application within agent based shop floor control systems. In particular, the algorithm discussed here is focussed on the achievement of high and consistent levels of production throughput in a manufacturing flow shop environment where there is a significant degree of flexibility associated with route selection. It is intended that in addition to performing well under nominal operating conditions, that such algorithms support a control system that is robust in the face of typical but unexpected process disturbances, such as congestion. It is emphasised that the algorithms are primarily intended for shop floor control and execution rather than scheduling for which numerous existing algorithms already exist.
