Multi-assortment production flow synchronization. Multiscale modelling approach

Increasing competition strongly influence a company that is looking for the efficient method of production control. Companies expand their production flexibility and control method in the whole value chain. In this paper, authors propose a new description of the production inspired by the multiscale modelling. In particular, the idea based on the modelling of concurrent cyclic processes and the ability to use this approach in complex production systems is presented. This paper also discusses modelling and simulation of multiscale production flows using the Activity-Oriented Petri Nets.
