In times of fast changing markets and short product life-cycles, manufacturing systems have to be adaptable and support a variety of products and product volumes. Production has to be product-driven. This thesis aims at improving flexibility of IT-systems by automatically detecting system configurations and generating factory-specific executable action sequences that consider material flows and capabilities of available resources. By decoupling products from manufacturing systems, generic descriptions can be reused for different setups and adaptability is increased.
