Abstract(in English) A practical usage of Colored Petri Nets(CPN)in the field of scheduling of manufacturing systems is presented in this paper.A Hierarchical CPN model based online scheduling engine for a real industrial application is proposed. The application consists in a set of unrelated parallel NC machines that have to perform drlling operations, of hole opening, on a set of Printed Circuit Boards(PCBs)for later insertion of components. Lots of boards come in different size. Depending on its characteristics each lot may be processed by one or more of machines, with different production times in different machines.The scheduling is aimed at the drilling operations.The objective is to increase the machine utilization rate.The backbone of our approach is to exploit the concurrency offered by the CPN formalism to do parallel search of the many combinations available. The Hierarchical CPN helped model efficiently such a complex system and was designed to be flexible enough to cover a range of 1-to-N lots in the input stream.
