Abstract
Tool specification for production system control requires the identification of the main characteristics of the production system. The production systems are varied, and the production control tools (such as scheduling algorithms and resource assignment rules) are often dedicated to only one class of these systems. Tool assessment for production system control requires modelling of the production system. We propose a new approach to production systems, to identify the nature and the complexity of the system according to the classification of Conway et al., and to specify a dynamic model that will allow us to simulate production control decisions. This paper presents this object-oriented approach, which identifies the resources and the organization features of the studied system. It then, proposes some predetermined classes of objects, which enable us to classify the system components and to use pre-existing dynamic models. These dynamic models are based on timed and coloured Petri nets. The overall architecture of our methodology follows three steps: top-down analysis of resources and bottom-up recognition of predetermined objects, instantiation and integration of objects, and implementation of objects. An example illustrates its use in the textile industry.
