Abstract: ACNOS is a research project funded by the French Ministry for Research and Technology, and devoted to the analysis of structured and non-structured activities in production systems. The paper first describes the ACNOS project and defines structured and non-structured activities and processes. Then it presents the temporal performance based on generalized stochastic Petri net models. Finally, it discusses the approach for physico-economical performance evaluation based on performance indicators and drivers. The paper is illustrated by an industrial application.
Keywords: ACNOS, IDEF3, activity modeling, business processes, performance evaluation, production systems, stochastic Petri nets, temporal properties.
