The method of the production flow synchronisation using the meta-rule conception

The subject matter of that paper is the method of the production flow synchronisation boiling down to the determination of distributed control procedures using the meta-rule conception. The meta-rule consists of the three parts adequate to the starting-up, the dispatching and the cease rules. The presented approach relates to the system behaviour in time when the system does not work in the steady rhythm that is in the transition state. The distributed control processes realised during the following transition state phases: the starting-up, the cease and the transient have been analysed. The proposed method is dedicated to production planning and control in the systems realising the concurrent multi-assortment rhythmic production.
