Track: Digital Manufacturing

Abstract

Several smart manufacturing concepts have been proposed during the past half-decade, such as cloud manufacturing, industry 4.0 based manufacturing, industrial Internet, and many more. One of their shared objectives is to enhance joint efforts across the enterprise by building up a stage to deliver an appropriate smartness in manufacturing. A total manufacturing framework consists of a given actual manufacturing framework and a stage incorporating a virtual manufacturing framework (planned from actual manufacturing itself). The research on scheduling in cloud manufacturing faces numerous difficulties. So, there is a need to comprehend the current circumstances and recognize future issues and problems related to scheduling in a cloud manufacturing environment. This work covered the spread of the most recent ten years and present state-of-the-art studies on scheduling issues in cloud manufacturing. The operating modal and procedure are elaborated. Also, this domain is classified precisely. Various conclusions are drawn, and future research directions are suggested.
