Abstract: A method for automatically controlling a production process for the mass production of order specific products with a first and a second partial process and an exit buffer (500.3) which comprises a fixed maximum number of spaces for production objects (20.2, 20.3,). A sequence (60) for the order of products, which are produced in the production process, is produced. In the first partial process, objects are produced according to the order sequence (70). A selection process occurs, wherein a produced object from the produced object sequence and an application from the application sequence, corresponding to each other, are selected. If the first application of the application sequence does not match a production object in the exit buffer or corresponds to a first produced object from the sequence of produced objects and if sufficient free space is available in the exit buffer, the first application and the produced object matching the sequence of produced objects are selected.

Abstract: A method for controlling a production process for the manufacture of customized production objects. A sequence of production objects runs through at least one partial process of a production process. The method ensures that, in series production, the processing of an order in the partial process is begun at the latest after a maximum waiting time. The sequence of electronically available orders is handled separately from the sequence of production objects and a copy of the order sequence is generated. If the first order of the copy does not match the first production object, the order is stored in an electronic buffer memory and a matching order for the first production object is determined. The order with the greatest waiting time is removed from this buffer memory whenever the previous waiting time exceeds a prescribed waiting time limit. A production object matching this order is brought forward and processed according to the order.
