With the increasing pressure on manufacturing companies to meet business to manufacturing agility, infotronics technologies combined with agent technologies are becoming basic drivers for new decision- making organisational issues in a more heterarchical way. One key point to make these technologies fully adopted by industry is to provide benchmarking environments in order to compare and analyse their efficiency on emulated large-scale industry-led case-studies with regard to current technologies and approaches. This paper propose a generic benchmarking protocol based on LT, OEE and WIP performance indicators in order to evaluate the efficiency of product-driven decision-making. This benchmarking protocol is then applied to an automotive-industry case-study in order to evaluate the impact of making interact the products with the local decision centers.
