Description
Summary:Within the framework of FMS dependability, this article aims to apply the concept of tolerance to flexible manufacturing architectures. This enables flexible architectures to be studied and the one that could best react if failure occurs to be chosen. The methods proposed here are based on a process representation. They could be used on a designed architecture in a feedback process: The analysis is performed off line in order to check whether the workshop is tolerant or the addition of some flexibilities can make the system more tolerant.
