In this paper, we present results on designing the architecture of an agent-based system for production control of semiconductor wafer fabrication facilities (wafer fabs). These manufacturing systems are characterized by reentrant product flows, sequence dependant setup-times, inhomogenous parallel machines, a diverse product mix, a mix of different process types, prescribed due dates of the orders and preventive maintenance due to difficult technological processes. Hence, coordination issues have to be considered during the design of a production control system for such type of manufacturing processes. We suggest a hierarchical production control scheme. We use the PROSA reference architecture in order to form the proper agency. We describe the development of a system prototype using the C++ and C# programming language and the.NET middleware. In order to allow the investigation of dynamic scenarios by emulation of the production process we suggest the use of the discrete event simulator AutoSched AP and a blackboard type data layer as a coupling component between the production control system and the simulator.
