Provided is a production module for processing or handling a product in a production system, which production module has a product detection module for reading in product parameters associated to the product, and an interaction module for assigning an adjacent production module to a transfer port. Furthermore, a local assignment table is provided, in which non-adjacent conveying objectives in the production system are in each case assigned to one of the transfer ports. A balancing module serves for iterative reading of first assignment information of a corresponding assignment table of a first adjacent production module, for iterative formation of the local assignment table with the aid of the read-in first assignment information, and for iterative transfer of second assignment information of the local assignment table to a second adjacent production module.
