Abstract: A method of determining a configuration of production devices in a print production environment may include receiving, by a computing device, one or more production environment characteristics associated with a print production environment, receiving job processing information, identifying, by the computing device, a performance measure, receiving a desired value associated with the identified performance measure, receiving one or more parameters associated with a random search algorithm, and performing, by the computing device, the random search algorithm based on at least the received job processing information and the received parameters to determine a configuration of production devices in the print production environment that satisfies the desired value associated with the performance measure.

Abstract: A method of determining a cell configuration in a print production environment may include identifying a set of print devices to assign to a cell, identifying a print device number, identifying one or more subsets of print devices from the set, where each subset includes a unique portion of the print devices in the set, and each subset includes a number of print devices equal to the print device number, performing a simulation of operation on each subset to determiner a subset performance metric for each subset, selecting one of the subsets based on the associated subset performance metric, decrementing the print device number by an amount, updating the set with the selected subset, and repeating the identifying one or more subsets, performing the simulation, selecting one of the subsets, decrementing the print device number and updating until no subset performance metric satisfies a performance constraint.

Abstract: A method of determining a location of one or more print production items in a storage facility may include identifying one or more print production items used by one or more autonomous production cells in a print shop, and determining, by a computing device, a demand value associated with each of the identified print production items. The demand value may represent a frequency with which the print production item is used by the autonomous production cells over a period of time. The method may include grouping the identified print production items into one or more groups based on the autonomous production cell that uses the identified print production items, assigning each group to an autonomous storage cell, and determining a location of one or more autonomous storage cells based on the demand values associated with the print production items in the group associated with the autonomous storage cell.
