The paper presents a generic framework for a product Driven Control Systems (PDCS) dealing with production planning and control. The framework is based on Viable System Model (VSM) which is introduced for intelligent manufacturing systems. Based on suitable properties as autonomy, self-organization and adaptability, VSM allows to model and consider these properties for PDCS. An application for a Manufacturing Planning and Control System (MPCS) is proposed. Different points of view are also presented based on this application which are showed and explained in the sens of VSM principles. Finally, a discussion is presented dealing with the main issues of the proposed approach.
