Abstract :This paper develops a new modeling technique for the supervisory control of FMS in the framework of discrete event systems insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(DES);. In particular, we consider the general case of an FMS, where different product types can share production components and production components can hold multiple products. We first point out that a suitable model for such production component needs to keep track of the product type and the order of products entering and leaving production components. Then, we develop a general method for algorithmically constructing the required order-preserving models. We further illustrate the practicability of the developed method by an application example.
