Models and Information Technology for Reliable Design of the Functioning Processes of Flexible Production Systems as Complex Human-Machine Systems

A task to assess the reliability of the functioning processes of flexible manufacturing systems was set and solved in the paper. We used a system of functional networks as a mathematical tool for describing, evaluating, and optimizing processes. We developed an information modeling technology that takes into account the reliability of technical means of automation and the characteristics of the human operator and the production environment. We can recommend the technology as an element of a decision support system for managing complex automated systems.
