摘要
A fuzzy dynamic-prioritization agent-based system was developed in this study to improve the forecasting of the cycle time of a job in a wafer fabrication plant (wafer fab). In this system, multiple fuzzy agents forecast the cycle time of a job from various viewpoints, after which the aggregation and evaluation agent aggregates these fuzzy cycle time forecasts using an innovative operator (i.e., the fuzzy weighted intersection) into a single representative value. Subsequently, the optimization agent varies the authority levels of the fuzzy cycle time forecasting agents to optimize the forecasting performance. A practical example was used to evaluate the effectiveness of the fuzzy dynamic-prioritization agent-based system. The experiment results indicated that the fuzzy dynamic-prioritization agent-based system outperformed three rival methods in improving forecasting accuracy. In addition, the forecasting performance could be enhanced by discriminating the authority levels of the fuzzy cycle time forecasting agents.
