摘要

In this paper, we study the effect of various benchmark deadlock recovery strategies, and we find that each of these recovery strategies either results into another kind of deadlock or results into very high handling cost and long handling time. We also propose a new improved strategy in order to solve the shop deadlock problem through the use of both automated guided vehicle and a central buffer. To the best knowledge of the authors, till date, no research study has been performed to propose any such strategy in this regard or to study the effect of several deadlock recovery strategies altogether. Simulation result shows that the proposed strategy performs better than the existing benchmark recovery strategies and provides much improved solution to the shop deadlock problem, resulting into considerable reduction in handling time and cost and better handling of jobs in central buffer compared to various benchmark deadlock recovery strategies available in the literature.
