Abstract

A method for manufacturing a product according to a production plan includes a plurality of production steps.The method includes providing a plurality of production modules, for each production step of the plurality of production steps, independently executing a negotiation process for selecting a production module, and disposing the selected production modules, each selected for performing one of the production steps, for performing the plurality of production steps. The negotiation process includes designating production modules that are capable of performing the production step, assigning module parameters to the designated production modules, calculating a cost for each of the designated production modules based on the module parameters of the respective production module, and selecting one of the designated production modules as a function of the calculated cost.
