ABSTRACT:
A computer controlled system provides for configuration-specific recovery of operation in a reconfigurable production system having a plurality of modules with a plurality of alternative capabilities for processing work units. The system includes a system controller having planning, scheduling, and performance failure identification functions. The planning function plans utilization of selected module capabilities in the production of jobs having not less than one work unit and the scheduling function schedules utilization of selected module capabilities in the production of jobs. The failure identification function identifies the failure of module capabilities to perform the work units for a scheduled job.
