Abstract In this paper*, we provide tools for integrating machine planning and manufacturing. Specifically, we show how assembly trees can be coded into operators for machine planners and how machine planners can represent flow-lines, assembly and job-shop choices. We provide a polynomial-time algorithm for succinctly combining multiple plans; the resulting plan can be expressed as four matrices that are equivalent to a Petri net. We also provide a dynamic supervisory controller that can execute a single plan or switch between multiple plans as real-time conditions change.
