score(inventory_weight=0.5) float[source]

Estimates the final score of the agent

Parameters:

inventory_weight – The weight of the inventory that remains at the end of the simulation

receive(payment: int, t: int) bool[source]

Simulates receiving payment at time t

Parameters:
  • payment – Amount received

Success/failure

Remarks:

  • Reserved products do not show in calls to inventory_at , inventory_to etc.

  • Reserving a product does nothing more than mark some quantity as reserved for calls to reserved_inventory_at and available_inventory_at.

  • This feature can be used to simulate inventory hiding commands in the real factory and to avoid double counting of inventory when calculating needs for future contracts.

Parameters:

available_for_production(repeats: int, step: int | Tuple[int, int] = ANY_STEP, line: int = ANY_LINE, override: bool = True, method: str = 'latest') Tuple[numpy.ndarray, numpy.ndarray][source]

Finds available times and lines for scheduling production.

Parameters:
  • repeats – How many times to repeat the process

  • step – The simulation step or a range of steps. The special value ANY_STEP gives the factory the freedom to schedule production at any step in the present or future.

  • line – The production line. The special value ANY_LINE gives the factory the freedom to use any line

  • override – Whether to override any existing commands at that line at that time.

  • method – When to schedule the command if step was set to a range. Options are latest, earliest, all

Returns:

Tuple[np.ndarray, np.ndarray] The steps and lines at which production is scheduled.

Remarks:

  • You cannot order production in the past or in the current step

  • Ordering production, will automatically update inventory and balance for all simulation steps assuming that this production will be carried out. At the indicated step if production was not possible (due to insufficient funds or insufficient inventory of the input product), the predictions for the future will be corrected.

order_production(process: int, steps: numpy.ndarray, lines: numpy.ndarray) None[source]

Orders production of the given process

Parameters:
  • process – The process to run

  • steps – The time steps to run the process at as an np.ndarray

  • lines – The corresponding lines to run the process at

Remarks:

  • len(steps) must equal len(lines)

  • No checks are done in this function. It is expected to be used after calling available_for_production

schedule(process: int, quantity: int, t: int | Tuple[int, int] = ANY_STEP, line: int = ANY_LINE, override=True, method: str = 'latest', ignore_inventory_shortage=True, ignore_money_shortage=True) bool[source]

Simulates scheduling the given job at its time and line optionally overriding whatever was already scheduled

Parameters:
  • process – The process to run

  • quantity – The quantity to be produced

  • t – The time-step step

  • line – The line

  • ignore_inventory_shortage – If true shortages in inputs will be ignored

  • ignore_money_shortage – If true, shortage in money will be ignored

  • override – Whether the job should override any already registered job at its time-step

  • method – The method employed for scheduling. Supported methods are latest, earliest

Returns:

Success/failure

fix_before(t: int) bool[source]

Fix the history before this point

Parameters:

t – time

Returns:

Success/failure

Remarks:

  • After this function is called at any time-step t, there is no way to change any component of the factory state at any timestep before t.

  • This function is useful for fixing any difference between the simulator and the real state (in conjunction with set_state).

delete_bookmark(bookmark_id: int) bool[source]

Commits everything since the bookmark so it cannot be rolled back

Parameters:

bookmark (bookmark_id The bookmark ID returned from) –

Returns:

Returns:

bookmark ID

Remarks:

  • Bookmarks can be used to implement transactions.

rollback(bookmark_id: int) bool[source]

Rolls back to the given bookmark ID

Parameters:

bookmark (bookmark_id The bookmark ID returned from) –

Remarks:

  • You can only rollback in the reverse order of bookmarks. If the bookmark ID given here is not the one at the top of the bookmarks stack, the rollback will fail (return False)

set_state(t: int, inventory: numpy.array, balance: int, commands: numpy.array) None[source]
