- 模块化框架融合运输、缓冲、故障等真实约束
- 支持多目标优化,适配不同生产场景
- 开源工具便于研究与工业应用对比测试
经典作业车间调度问题(JSSP)在确定性约束下优化完工时间。现实生产环境引入运输物流、缓冲管理、设备故障、准备时间及随机加工条件等复杂因素,使传统方法效果下降。强化学习(RL)具备学习自适应调度策略的潜力,但缺乏兼顾训练与评估的通用框架。为此,我们提出一个模块化框架,扩展经典JSSP,融入上述真实约束,并支持多目标优化。该框架可定制化定义问题实例与仿真参数,灵活适配多样生产场景;标准化接口兼容多种RL方法,提供稳定训练环境,实现动态不确定条件下不同调度策略的标准化比较。我们开源发布JobShopLab工具,网址:https://github.com/proto-lab-ro/jobshoplab,供科研与工业使用。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
The classical Job Shop Scheduling Problem (JSSP) focuses on optimizing makespan under deterministic constraints. Real-world production environments introduce additional complexities that cause traditional scheduling approaches to be less effective. Reinforcement learning (RL) holds potential in addressing these challenges, as it allows agents to learn adaptive scheduling strategies. However, there is a lack of a comprehensive, general-purpose frameworks for effectively training and evaluating RL agents under real-world constraints. To address this gap, we propose a modular framework that extends classical JSSP formulations by incorporating key real-world constraints inherent to the shopfloor, including transport logistics, buffer management, machine breakdowns, setup times, and stochastic processing conditions, while also supporting multi-objective optimization. The framework is a customizable solution that offers flexibility in defining problem instances and configuring simulation parameters, enabling adaptation to diverse production scenarios. A standardized interface ensures compatibility with various RL approaches, providing a robust environment for training RL agents and facilitating the standardized comparison of different scheduling methods under dynamic and uncertain conditions. We release JobShopLab as an open-source tool for both research and industrial applications, accessible at: https://github.com/proto-lab-ro/jobshoplab
