Linnaean and Cladistic Classifications of Manufacturing Systems

  • Conference paper
  • First Online:
Enabling Manufacturing Competitiveness and Economic Sustainability

Abstract

This paper addresses the advantages of applying cladistics to explore and change manufacturing layout systems. The approach is presented as evolutionary steps by the introduction of key layout characters. These steps are brought together by applying cladistics to classify the evolutionary relationships between manufacturing layout systems. The classifications will form a knowledge base for a web-based expert system and diagnostic tool for the rapid design and virtual prototyping of factories of the future.
