Popis: The application of autonomous control to production logistic systems has already shown promising results. Especially, in highly dynamic situations autonomous control outperforms conventional production planning and control methods. However, the implementation of autonomous control to production systems seems to be unsuitable to some situations. It appears that classical planning methods perform best in well-defined situations with less dynamics. This contribution addresses the potentials and the limitations of autonomous control compared to centralized planning and controll algorithms. Therefore, scenarios of the flexible flow shop problem with varying degrees of complexity and dynamics are used for evaluating autonomous control methods. The results are compared to classical scheduling algorithms for the flexible flow shop scheduling, in order to identify limitations and potentials of autonomous control.
