A distributed production activity control system has been developed in the LAMIH laboratory to solve several problems inherent in the inflexibility of classic centralized production activity control systems. The distributed approach implies local decision making and real time control for task allocations. This forbids correct forecast on critical information such as time cycle for each manufacturing order, meaning a lack of viability for industrial application. The aim of our work is to provide a structure which takes advantage of both extrema and which is able to support just-in-time concepts: the hybrid production activity control structure. The hybrid approach uses the notion of bottleneck and non-bottleneck resources and is based on the distributed control structure developed in the laboratory. The bottleneck is the only resource scheduled. It forces the synchronicity of the whole production structure because of its characteristics. This paper evaluates the relative performances of the three control structures (centralized, distributed and hybrid) through theoretical discussions and practical examples from a simplified industrial case study. |
