Abstract: Under the background of resource sharing, in order to solve the competition between different customers' jobs for machine resources, the coordinated production and transportation scheduling problem on parallel machines based on multi-agent is studied. Multiple manufacturers put idle, similar machines on a shared platform, forming a production environment of parallel machines. Jobs from multiple customers need to be processed on machines on the shared platform. Multiple customers with their own optimization objectives are regarded as multiple agents. After the job is processed, the distribution of finished products needs to be considered because the location of machine and customers is dispersed.

Key words: resource sharing, parallel machines, production and transportation coordinated scheduling, multi-agent scheduling, auction algorithm
