As we have just discussed, it is necessary here to highlight the fractal nature of the organization or its effects. In such groups, there is a stacking structure with multiple levels (operation, equipment, cell, workshop, factory, etc. in the sense of computer-integrated manufacturing). This fractal structure is equipped with self-similarity or invariance of scale. The same basic mechanisms can be used at these different levels, and the operating point (system configuration) is only a variety (an attractor) of the system, itself based on a small number of initial conditions or simplifying assumptions. The problem here is how such a property is reflected at the upper structural level.

From the above remarks, a number of favorable conditions are nevertheless met for the presence of chaos (diversity factor), studied on the basis of modeling on simple basic cells and associated properties, to exist on more elaborate assemblies. This also leads us to talk about the increasing complexity of systems, the subject of the following section, which will allow us to deduce new approaches to control and management.
