Abstract:
Nowadays, it is necessary to have a complete description of the production process in order to plan, program, control, and supervise the production process. It is hard to obtain this description due to the existence of two contradictory points of views. First, the precision implicated in the construction of total and complete models, and on the other hand, the need of having a global vision associated with the different views of the process. These views normally show three important aspects: the structural organization of the model, the dynamism between the main components, and the distinct temporal scales and levels, where are taken the main decisions. The holonic approach (Erikson,2004) has been used to manage this complexity, in order to have an abstraction that permit the integration of the mentioned points of views. In this paper we propose, a structure for continuous production process based on holonic approach in order to obtain a global vision and global model less complex of
the production process.
