Abstract

This paper develops and evaluates an automated process sequential manufacturing system using stochastic Petri nets (SPN) theory. The proposed Petri net-based graphic model is used to generate a reachability tree. The tree is, in turn, converted to a state table representation of a Markov process model to investigate the model for liveness, boundedness, reversibility, and performance. Other important characteristics of a dynamic system, such as conflict, blocking, and deadlock can also be examined. Different configurations of an automated system are studied by SPN models to design an improved system.
