Abstract :
A body of theory has been developed regarding multilevel coordination [1]. With applications sparse, the objective of this work is to relate and interpret a portion of the theory for control for the class of complex processes with sequential subprocesses. An example is formulated utilizing the Hot Strip Mill, including modification of current operating practice motivated by the coordination philosophy.
