| Abstract: | Between the steps of operation release and process control of the production activity control, no re-evaluation of the production organization is undertaken. However, the production organization can be technically optimized or modified. This level of production management is difficult to achieve, essentially because several fields come into play. It becomes apparent, however, that it is essential to integrate production management and production cell control in order to obtain advanced production systems which are more ‘reactive’ to technical and economic perturbations. In this paper, a contribution to the resolution of this problems is presented and the following ideas are introduced: - 1. a control structure of production cells within “real-time production management functions”,
- 2. a control strategy of the cells by “scénario de production” (production scenario).
First of all, the functions of this control structure are described and then the principles of its generic utilization for the control of a complex production system are given. An executable production scenario is conceived according to the production management rules, the data and know-how of the fabricators also play a role. The last section of this paper describes, using an industrial example in the field of sub-contracted machining, the construction of such a scenario. |
