Part of a larger research that employs decentralized holonic modelling techniques in manufacturing planning and control, this work proposes a holonic-based material handling system and contrasts the centralized and distributed scheduling approaches for the allocation of material handling operations to the available system resources. To justify the use of the decentralized holonic approach and assess its performance compared to conventional scheduling systems, a series of evaluation tests and a simulation study are carried out. As illustrated by the results obtained from the simulation study, the decentralized holonic approach is capable of delivering competitive feasible solutions in, practically, real-time.
