Abstract

Reconfigurable manufacturing system (RMS) is considered as a major resource of providing variable production capacities and capabilities by different manufacturing companies. For different products needed in small quantities and with short delivery lead time, this is achieved through reconfiguring the system elements over the time. In the present work, various characteristics of RMS have been discussed and formulated. Weighted sum theory has been used for the selection of best manufacturing system. An illustration is given to analyze the applicability of the proposed methodology on a given system.
