Abstract

This paper is dedicated to the study of constraints violation in manufacturing workshops with time constraints. In such systems, every operation duration is included between minimal and maximal values. P-time Petri nets are used for modeling. A new theorem is introduced, constituting a decision tool about the occurrence of constraints violation at the level of a synchronization transition when various types of time disturbances occur. It shows the robustness properties of a manufacturing system on a range that may include delay and advance disturbances. The theoretical result is illustrated step by step on a given workshop. Two other lemmas are elaborated contributing to the study of the constraints violation problem. The final goal is to generalize the robustness property towards simultaneous occurrence of two delays at two points of the system, each having its own robustness range.
