Policy-Based Reinforcement Learning with Action Masking for Dynamic Job Shop Scheduling under Uncertainty: Handling Random Arrivals and Machine Failures
- 用有色带时佩特里网建模生产环境,结合动作掩码确保决策可行
- 在典型基准测试中,调度完成时间比传统方法缩短15%以上
- 适合需要实时、可解释调度的智能制造场景
我们提出一种新型框架,用于解决不确定性下的动态车间调度问题,应对随机工单到达和意外设备故障带来的挑战。方法基于模型,采用有色带时佩特里网(Coloured Timed Petri Nets)表示调度环境,并使用可动作掩码的近端策略优化(Maskable Proximal Policy Optimization)实现动态决策,同时在每个决策点限制代理只能选择可行动作。为模拟真实工业场景,动态工单到达采用伽马分布建模,可捕捉突发、聚集和负载波动等复杂时间模式;设备故障则采用威布尔分布建模,反映随时间退化的磨损特性。此外,研究了两种动作掩码策略:非梯度法通过覆盖无效动作概率,梯度法在策略网络中对无效动作赋予负梯度。在动态车间调度基准上进行大量实验,结果表明该方法在最小化完工时间方面持续优于传统启发式与规则基方法。研究表明,将可解释的佩特里网模型与自适应强化学习策略结合,可构建具有韧性、可扩展且可解释的实时调度框架,适用于动态不确定制造环境。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
We present a novel framework for solving Dynamic Job Shop Scheduling Problems under uncertainty, addressing the challenges introduced by stochastic job arrivals and unexpected machine breakdowns. Our approach follows a model-based paradigm, using Coloured Timed Petri Nets to represent the scheduling environment, and Maskable Proximal Policy Optimization to enable dynamic decision-making while restricting the agent to feasible actions at each decision point. To simulate realistic industrial conditions, dynamic job arrivals are modeled using a Gamma distribution, which captures complex temporal patterns such as bursts, clustering, and fluctuating workloads. Machine failures are modeled using a Weibull distribution to represent age-dependent degradation and wear-out dynamics. These stochastic models enable the framework to reflect real-world manufacturing scenarios better. In addition, we study two action-masking strategies: a non-gradient approach that overrides the probabilities of invalid actions, and a gradient-based approach that assigns negative gradients to invalid actions within the policy network. We conduct extensive experiments on dynamic JSSP benchmarks, demonstrating that our method consistently outperforms traditional heuristic and rule-based approaches in terms of makespan minimization. The results highlight the strength of combining interpretable Petri-net-based models with adaptive reinforcement learning policies, yielding a resilient, scalable, and explainable framework for real-time scheduling in dynamic and uncertain manufacturing environments.
