Abstract
This study considers the synchronisation of events modelled by graphs of timed event systems. The start and finish points of events are indicated by the firing of transitions in the system. Synchronising the firing of these transitions control events, which are activities within a manufacturing system. Synchronisation is achieved by controlling the inflow of raw materials into the system. A feedback controller is proposed to control the flow of incoming feedstock. The controller parameters are calculated. Delays are applied to the input supply and the production rate is established when the control of the synchronisation constraints is satisfied. The proposed method ensures that the system control operates according to the control strategy of ‘just-in-time’ production planning.
