Abstract

A method and also an associated computer program (product) and an apparatus for shaping a production process for producing a product made up of multiple subproducts in a production system having multiple production modules is provided. The claimed method has the following steps: generating a process model using data about production steps to be carried out for the product and the subproducts thereof, from which process model at least some of the data about at least one production step are read and a respective production module that is available and associated for carrying out the respective production step is ascertained and using a signal connection to provide instructions that correspond to the respective production step for the production module.
