The configuration phase of a production system is characterized by the need of evaluating a large number of system alternatives. In this phase, a fast and reliable performance evaluation tool able to analyze and explain the behaviour of the system is necessary. The paper proposes an approximate anal

β¦ Synopsis
Reconfigurable enterprises and reconfigurable production systems represent nowadays one of the key responses towards the organisational and manufacturing needs arising in the new era known as mass customization. The paper proposes an Agent Based approach for the production planning activities in reconfigurable enterprises, characterized by complex, articulated and geographically distributed production capacities contended by many product families and composed by reconfigurable production systems that allow quick adjustment of production capacity and functionality consenting to manufacture different products of the same part family.

This paper is concerned with the design of reconfigurable control laws for fault-tolerant systems. From the control design point of view the issue of performance robustness during the system normal operation versus failure sensitivity at the time of a system component failure is addressed.

Information management is a challenge in a virtual enterprise environment which is characterised by distribution, autonomy and co-operation. Based on an on-going ESPRIT project (X-CITTIC), this paper presents a distributed information management architecture for production planning and control in se
## Abstract Production planning for largeβscale production systems requiring the allocation of numerous resources is considered. It is demonstrated how the dynamic activity analysis developed by Shephard leads to linear programming solutions of production planning problems. Three types of planning
