Abstract
This paper presents a study concerning the minimization of the evolution time of a class of manufacturing systems. The study passed by several steps beginning by modeling the manufacturing system using continuous Petri Nets. The second step uses the developed model to construct the different phases of evolution using the phase algorithm that will be defined later in the paper. The constructed phase schema helps in solving the proposed problem and helps at the same time in defining a control sequence that could be applied to the system. The variable parameter is the source speed or in other words the rate by which the pieces to be manufactured are supplied to the system. In this paper the class of an open manufacturing line will be presented. At the same time changing the source speed could have an important affect on the manufacturing line. We will study the effect of changing the speed of the source on the throughput of the system. One of the important advantages in using the developed algorithm is its ability to conserve the continuity of the system and also to show the dynamic behavior of the studied system.
