Toward the Next Generation of Manufacturing Systems. FRABIHO: A Synthesis Model for Distributed Manufacturing
The Next Generation of Manufacturing Systems (NGMS) is being built on the basis of the concepts associated to last generation of enterprise models. These models give rise to the so-called Agile Company, Extended Company and Virtual Company, all them included in a more wide concept which has grown with the Global Company conception. Currently, NGMS contains different distributed manufacturing system models proposed. Some of the most relevant NGMS models have been configured under considerations based on the possibility to establish similitude between a manufacturing system and either social, or biological or fractal systems. However, usually, these models are applied individually without take into consideration the advantages included in the rest of them. In this paper, a synthesis model containing FRActal, BIological and HOlonic (social) considerations has been proposed in order to make good use of the most relevant properties of the previously proposed protomodels. That model has been named as FRABIHO.
In section 3, the name of the items of FRABIHO protomodel is a bit confusing. it might be better to use something easy to understand to describe.
Appreciate if you can explain on “a double treatment” to know, describe and specify the model. Many thanks
I have just come back. How are you?.
Miguel Alvarez is trying to contact with you. You can phone him: 615331524
These items are so called in order to remark the FRActal and/or BIonic and/or HOlonic attributes. I thought that this form allowed resalting the elemental contribution of each model.
The dual holonic conception is based on the behavior of social sytems. I`ll try to explain it more clearly. Each holonic cell (HOLON) has an autonomy level which allows to considered it as a WHOLE. However is a part (ON) of other cell. Imagine the GEOMETRIC DESIGN HOLON, which can be considered as an autonomous entity (WHOLE) with an independence degree, but it is a part (ON) of the DESIGN HOLON, and it must collaborate with PROCESS DESIGN HOLON, GEOMETRIC DESIGN HOLON, MATERIAL DESIGN HOLON, etc.
Do you need that I explain it more?
Hey, Marcos, how are you
I imagine you at habiltation procedure, in Zaragoza.
Good work
