The reconfigurable manufacture system (RMS) combined with the merits of both two systems, professional manufacture system and flexible manufacture system, could respond to the market change or uncertain requirement, adjust the production ability or function for changing the hardware or software. This paper presents the main architecture and major characteristics of reconfigurable manufacturing systems. 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, two examples, the hydraulic integrated package for a gearshift device in automobile, are mentioned to compare and analyse.

Manufacturing Systems (MS) are a fundamental means of establishing profitable engineering operations in mechanical firms. The technical and physical structures of MS determine the dimension of adaption and signify the measure of freedom of engineers of MS. This contribution discusses the Reconfiguring Cellular Manufacturing System (RCMS) concept, which considers the design of systems as cyclical activities whereby the makers of decisions can determine the MS’s system capacities and capabilities. The standard methodologies to support the design of MS are optimization and analysis of MS. The timeframe essential for evaluating numerous designs is a fundamental factor, which can also discourage the application of these systems. Resultantly, there is a threat of missed assessment of suitable designs when the number and quality of the solution users being assessed is based on the users’ intuition with respect to the potential design result.

Reconfigurable Manufacturing Systems (RMS) have the potential to emerge as a cost effective solution that will help manufacturing organizations to stay competitive in an environment where product mix changes frequently and product life cycles are getting shorter. Reconfigurable Manufacturing Systems can achieve this as they are designed for quick changes in its configuration, as well as software and hardware components. This not only helps in accommodating production capacity but also production of new variety of products and introduction of new product within part family. However, the configurations have a significant impact on the productivity and reliability of the machines and the manufacturing system. In the present paper, the main objective is to present a framework consisting of Maintenance plan to be followed for the reconfigured machine, Reliability of the reconfigured machine, Quality of the product obtained. This framework can form as the basic idea and a link between maintenance, reliability and quality issues.
