Some concepts for industrial control process modelling

After an introduction concerning today Firm evolution and the state of the art of industrial control and making decision, this paper first presents a classification of decision depending on production span, reactivity, application field and number of actors. Then, it introduces the methods (a priori, reactive, a posteriori) and the dimensions (hierarchy, space, time) of control. And last, it proposes some concepts for generic modelling of its process using " control centre " , " local " and " global " structures.
