“…In the literature, the search for reconfigurable manufacturing goes back as far as the 1990s with Liles and Huff (1990). The idea of agile manufacturing was formulated in 1991 by the Iacocca Institute to enable short changeover times between the manufacture of different products (Nagel and Dove, 1991).…”

“…The idea of Reconfigurable Manufacturing System (RMS), first introduced in [3], was formally defined by Koren et al [4]. Based on modular components, these systems are designed to support changes in their physical configuration in order to be more responsive to the quick transformations of product demand.…”

Based on an analysis of research and industrial trends, the paper introduces the basis of a conceptual research framework for an innovative methodology dedicated to design, implement and manage Reconfigurable Manufacturing Systems (RMS). The authors present key challenges extracted from the literature and key industrial needs for RMS, drawn from expert interviews via an industry study. A conceptual framework for reconfigurability management is proposed, which opens several avenues for future research.

“…The working of a RMS has been explained by numerous researchers like Liles and Huff [9], Makino and Aria [10], Sheault et al [11], Aronson [12], Lee [13] and Koren et al [14]. The products required by the clientele are branched into several product groups, each group being a set of akin products.…”

In today's competitive market, manufacturers need to quickly adapt to the changing demands of the customers. Reconfigurable manufacturing system (RMS) is a cost-effective system that can easily absorb frequent changes in product demands. In this article such a system is modelled using expert enhanced coloured fuzzy Petri net (EECFPN), which considers the demands of customers as a fuzzy parameter and vividly captures the reconfigurability aspect of RMS. A fuzzy control strategy (FCS) is proposed to deal with the information delays occurring during information transfer or decision implementation. After intensive computational experimentation, it has been found that FCS outperforms the alternative priority (AP) heuristic and it is considered an effective measure to deal with situations where considerable information delay is involved.
