Abstract
The chapter presents a generic framework for a Product Driven Control Systems (PDCS) dealing with production planning and control. The framework is based on Viable System Model (VSM) which is introduced for intelligent manufacturing systems. Based on suitable properties as autonomy, self-organization and adaptability, VSM allows modelling and considering these properties for PDCS. An application for a Manufacturing Planning and Control System (MPCS) is proposed. Different points of view are also presented based on this application which are shown and explained in the sense of VSM principles. Finally, a discussion is presented dealing with the main issues of the proposed approach.
