Abstract. In this paper, we present a decision support tool (DSS) for preliminary design of transfer machines with rotary or mobile tables. In these transfer machines, the machining operations are executed on working positions equipped by standard multi-spindle heads. A part is sequentially machined on m working positions and is moved from one position to the next using a rotary or a mobile table. The operations are grouped into blocks, where the operations of the same block are simultaneously performed by one multi-spindle head. At the preliminary design stage, the goal is to select the number of working positions and to decide which spindle heads will be installed minimizing the machine cost while respecting a given production rate. The paper presents the overall approach and depicts mathematical and decisionsupport methods developed and implemented in a software for the optimization of preliminary design (or reconfiguration) of such machining systems.

The problem of reconfiguration appears also for the transfer lines that are designed for mass production of a single product. When a new product should be produced at an existing transfer line, it is necessary to reconfigure it. This is costly, thus the reconfiguration process should be optimized. This chapter presents a multiobjective mathematical model for such a problem and develops a goal programming approach to solve it. The results of computational experiments are reported.

Industry 4.0 technology is based on the concepts of flexibility and dynamic assembly system design. This enables new production strategies and creates new challenges for job shop scheduling. In particular, manufacturing processes for different customer orders may have individual machine structures whereas the flexible stations are able to execute different functions subject to individual sets of operations within the jobs. This study develops a control approach to job shop scheduling in a customized manufacturing process and job sequencing of operations within the jobs. The developed approach presents a contribution to flexible distributed scheduling in the emerging field of Industry 4.0-based innovative production systems.
