Manufacturing industries integrate different resources in their production pipelines: material, personnel, machine tools, robots, etc. The resource management has to optimize production costs by taking into account on-line changes. The purpose of OPTAMS (Optimized All Monitor System) is to integrate an on-line optimization tool with a resource management system and a control system. OPTAMS allows to monitor the production process in order to run the re-optimization, if the preceding planning has to be retuned or updated. Thanks to the optimization, the company is able to increase the production efficiency. The optimization is based on Taboo search and the functional consists in several terms allowing finding a compromise from optimizing, costs, resource distribution workload, time to delivering, delay, etc. The whole system?s architecture is based on a distributed control system which integrates CANbus and Ethernet devices. OPTAMS has been realized as a European Commission R&D IST project, and has been validated at SHELBOX factory; the company produces mobile houses.
