There are a number of major prerequisites in the planning, design and operation of all manufacturing systems. These … associated with flexible batch manufacturing environment, and by external perturbations that can break‐down their steady state … characteristics. There is a major need for a robust tool to be established that forms a coherent manufacturing control strategy and …
