The Features of Production Systems Modeling

Abstract

The article considers the solution of one of the main tasks of modern mechanical engineering which is the modeling of modern production systems in the field of engineering. The choice of type of production system model is considered. It is shown that from the systematological point of view all existing models are divided into imitation (portrait) and optimization, and the problem of production systems designing belongs to the class of weakly structured problems. Consequently, at the stage of macro-design it is advisable to use optimizing models rather than imitation models. An expanded definition of technological process as a set of production design, technological process design of the sequence of form-building products, manufacturing is given. The concept of production flexibility and production system adaptation to changing conditions is defined. These solutions can be used both in production automation, and in the development of computer-aided design and modeling systems, flexible production systems, and also fully meet the goals and objectives of procedia engineering.
