Abstract: A man–machine production system (MMPS) comprising numerous operations to be processed in a definite technological sequence, is considered. The duration of each operation is random and the corresponding probability density function is pregiven. Certain operations entering the MMPS require extremely costly and rare resources which have to be prepared and delivered from outside and can be at the system’s disposal within a short time span. Other operations require non-constrained and constrained resources which are available every time period. Since the system is not fully automatic, control actions, including both the resource delivering and the resource reallocation, are introduced by decision makers.
