Automata models are among the computational models used in design and construction of industrial processes.Deterministic finite automata are used for specific operation procedures involving known start and specific accepting and or end states.This paper adopts the method of the deterministic finite automata to construct the compact production model by using the production processes to denote different states linked by different transition functions.The preliminary results indicate that from the compact model of the cement production processes the transition table so obtained can be used to interpret the order of the cement production process and a gateway towards studying more detailed transition matrix in terms of algebraic theoretic properties.
