The SOCHAUX plant of Automobiles PEUGEOT has a production capacity of 2000 cars per day. Assembled models may represent 4500 different types over one month production. Mastership of more than 4000 in process car bodies, and about 2000 in process engines is only possible in those conditions using a real time production control system. Such a system has been running since 1973, and had to be replaced and improved. The new system will be described here. Its name is SOFFAS, French shortening for 'Suivi et Ordonnancement des Flux de Fabrication Automobiles a SOCHAUX', that means 'Work Flow Control and Scheduling of Car Manufacturing at SOCHAUX'.
