Faced with the lack of realistic and operational benchmarks that can Accepted 10 May 2013 be used for testing optimization methods and control systems in flexible systems, this paper proposes a Available online 19 June 2013 benchmark system based on a real production cell. A three-step method is presented: data preparation, Keywords: experimentation, and reporting. This benchmark allows the evaluation of static optimization perfor- Benchmarking mances using traditional operation research tools and the evaluation of con
