Control of Input Stream of Manufacturing Systems Modeled by Timed Event Graphs and Max-pus Algebra

This paper deals with the control systems modeled by timed event graphs and max-pus algebra, which are tools used in the modeling of systems subject to phenomena of synchronization and delay. It is used a method for the computation of the parameters of a controller that controls the stream of material in the production process in multiple-input and multiple-output systems. The method ensures that the controller operates in accordance with the strategy Just-in-Time in production planning, for given production rate, in order to obtain the best possible control, which is obtained by delaying to the maximum the inputs of raw materials in the manufacturing process.
