  • Structural and operational complexity of future manufacturing systems
    Peklenik, Janez
    To meet the challenge of the global markets the necessity for future developments of Computer Controlled & Integrated Manufacturing Systems represents a great urgency. The Taylorian paradigm of ... making things is getting obsolete and has to be replaced by new, more efficient structures and organisations of manufacturing means. The analysis of present efforts in the developments of FMS indicates three major approaches of significance: the biological, the fractal and the distributed. The latter one is based on elementary work system EWS, which is investigated in detail. The role of the most complex element of the EWS - the Subject - is discussed. It is shown that competence of the subject is of imminent importance for structuring, operating and controlling the manufacturing systems of the future. The partition and integration of EWS by means of information and transportation networks is discussed.
