摘要
There have been numerous unsolved problems on warehouse management in large scale shipyards, such as inconsistent materials' through-put and unmatched logistics. This paper introduces so-called multi-agent system's (MASs) negotiation mechanism to model the warehouse clusters and warehouse management system. Considering the warehouse activities and problem model, the prototype of a warehouse MAS and its function mapping, as well as the negotiation mechanism and algorithm, were designed. Finally, a warehouse cluster management system, which was compatible with the B/S structure, was established. The operational results of the system verified the feasibility of the MAS application in the shipbuilding related projects' warehouse management, and the effectiveness of the negotiation algorithm was proven, which lays a foundation for further intelligent warehouse management. © 2017, Editorial Department of Journal of HEU.
