Reconfigurable manufacturing system is essential for sustainable change, rapid response ability important characteristics, research, development and application of manufacturing system. The main architecture and major characteristics of reconfigurable manufacturing systems is explored. Normally, the quality of RMS can be evaluated by several factors. Firstly, the gross cost of production and reconstruction should be less. Secondly, The time of design and manufacture (ascent time) should be shorter. Thirdly, the utilization ratio of existed resource should reach to the utmost. Finally, the cargo stream planning in common space should keep in optimal condition. At last, The author give an example to shown the RMS, the hydraulic integrated package for a gearshift device in automobile, are mentioned to compare and analyze.

A Skillset census revealed that between 2006 and 2012, the number of BAMEs (Black, Asian and minority ethnic people) working in the UK TV Industry declined by 30.9 per cent. Many of the big TV companies and broadcasters seemed to think that more training initiatives were the easy fix. They set up several BAME training schemes, management training, youth training, even trainee commissioners. This chapter suggests that when the only tangible solution on the table to create significant and sustainable change is training, it can be argued that, inadvertently, the perception being perpetuated of the BAME creative community — the reason why BAME people are leaving the industry and why their numbers are at their lowest in years — is because they are not good enough.
