Abstract
In this paper, a closed loop cybernetic system is proposed for real-time scheduling and control of production in an automatic shop floor or on an automatic production line for One-of-a-Kind Production. By a concept of the so-called Product Production Structure, the designs and production processes of different types of products can be formulated into a set of data. These data can be ‘read’ by the control system and thereby the control system makes schedule of as well as real-time controls the production of the products. In this manner, the control system gains enough robustness to cope with the great diversity of product types (or kinds) in One-of-a-Kind Production. By the simulation module and experience time estimates of production processes, the control system is designed as an estimator to be able to make the production schedule before starting a production of a product or a batch of products with different types. By its closed loop, the control system is also designed to be able to real-time control the production and update the production schedule according to states of a shop floor or a production line during the production.
