A system of models contribution to production network (PN) theory

In Production Networks’ (PN) planning and control, innovative concepts and solutions may result from exploiting network properties. Simultaneous application of selected interrelated models, representing a system models, may generate very efficient solution procedures for PN planning and control as pointed out for several problem types. Such Model systems may be interpreted as part of a theory conjecture for PN, based on a topological core. All models appear as embedded structures of network units and connections, carrying fold/unfold properties of graphs and systems. Interoperability requirements induce standardizations for the models. The proposed theory approach intends to provide solution approaches for PN problems.
