“…EE policies are defined by the control rule triggering the switching off/on commands. Although in literature the buffer-based policies are most commonly used as system complexity increases, for example in Brundage et al (2016), Jia et al (2016), , Zou et al (2019), Wójcicki et al (2021), they require several information and should be applied at system level. Time-based policies use a lower amount of information and can easily be applied at machine level in various production environments (from stand alone machines to production lines).…”
