Approach to Virtual Production System Modelling

Modern production is characterized by constantly occurring changes in the composition of the produced products, caused both by market and objective reasons. Virtual production is one way of building working manufacturing in this conditions. For the evaluate virtual production characteristic, an adequate and non-complex model is required. Here is presented a morphological model of the production system, taking into account the production approach and the need for similarity of all components of the model. As a unit cell of the model, it is proposed to use the triad, which combines the following components, as producer, product and gene of productive heredity. The last component of the triad displays the relationship between the product and the producer in content and meaning, due to the presence of common attributes, and also defines a characteristic of common properties, such as their capacity. To work with a lot of data in uncertainty and limited information on the early stages of design, it is possible to use information relationship analysis methods, such as triadic formal concepts analysis. Context analysis will simplify the task of forming a model of a virtual production system, based on the selection of elements close to the specified property of the future production system. Further studies of selected triclasteriszation algorithms are proposed to improve the accuracy of the simulation.
