- and
- enabling the processing step in a case of a processing step request from the object to be processed in exchange for a reduction in the allocated credit by the bid if the availability result indicates availability.
An arrangement for enabling a processing step for an object to be processed, comprising:
- a control unit for determining an availability result, wherein the availability result is determined on a basis of a request from the object to be processed with a bid for the processing step, on a basis of further requests from further objects to be processed for the processing step and on a basis of further bids associated with the further requests and on a basis of an offer from a production unit suitable for carrying out the processing step, wherein the bid is a partial amount of a credit allocated to the object to be processed;
