Configuration design in scalable reconfigurable manufacturing systems (RMS); a case of single-product flow line (SPFL)
, Article International Journal of Production Research ; 2017 , Pages 1-23 ; 00207543 (ISSN) ; Houshmand, M ; Fatahi Valilai, O ; Sharif University of Technology
Abstract
The dynamic nature of today’s manufacturing industry, which is caused by the intense global competition and constant technological advancements, requires systems that are highly adaptive and responsive to demand fluctuations. Reconfigurable manufacturing systems (RMS) enable such responsiveness through their main characteristics. This paper addresses the problem of RMS configuration design, where the demand of a single product varies throughout its production life cycle, and the system configuration must change accordingly to satisfy the required demand with minimum cost. A two-phased method is developed to handle the primary system configuration design and the necessary system...
