Hybrid manufacturing control architectures merge the benefits of hierarchical and heterarchical approaches. Disturbances can be handled at upper or lower decision levels, depending on the type of disturbance, its impact and the time the control system has to react. This paper focuses particularly on a disturbance handling mechanism at upper decision levels using a rescheduling manufacturing method. Such rescheduling is more complex that the offline scheduling since the control system must take into account the current system status, obtain a satisfactory performance under the new conditions, and also come up with a new schedule in a restricted amount of time. Then, this paper proposes a simple and generic rescheduling method which, based on the satisfying principle, analyses the trade-off between the rescheduling time and the performance achieved after a perturbation. The proposed approach is validated on a simulation model of a realistic assembly cell and results demonstrate that adaptation of the rescheduling time might be beneficial in terms of overall performance and reactivity.

Manufacturing systems, and specifically Flexible Manufacturing Systems (FMS), face the challenge of accomplish global optimal performance and reactiveness at dynamic manufacturing environments. For this reason, manufacturing control systems must incorporate mechanisms that support dynamic custom-build responses. This paper introduces a framework that includes a governance mechanism in control system architectures that dynamically steers the autonomy of decision-making between predictive and reactive approaches. Results from experiments led in simulation show that it is worth studying in depth a governance mechanism that tailors the structure and/or behaviour of a manufacturing control system and, at the same time, potentiate the reactivity required in manufacturing operations.

“…However some limitation, called "myopic behaviour", must be noticed [8]. Due to the limited visibility of the IPs on the future behaviour of the manufacturing systems, an optimal performance of the overall system is not assured [9].…”

The needs of flexibility, agility and adaptation capabilities for modern manufacturing systems increase constantly. In this paper, we propose an original approach combining active/intelligent product architecture with learning mechanism to assure flexibility and agility to the overall manufacturing system. Using learning approaches as Reinforcement Learning (RL) mechanism, an active product can be able to reuse learned experiences to enhance its decisional performances. A contextualization method is proposed to improve the decision making of the product for scheduling tasks. The approach is then applied to a case study using a multi-agent simulation platform.
