Critical Analysis of Scalability of Reconfigurable Manufacturing Systems

Due to the rapidly increasing industrial competition in the globe, it has now become fundamental of engineering firms to implement fundamental industrial approaches, which promptly and reliably focusses on sudden transformation of the design of engineered products. Emergent strategies, which might allow forms to cope up with the quickly transforming changes of product specification is centered on Reconfigurable Manufacturing Systems (RMSs). This research contribution discusses the significance of the presently available scalable Manufacturing Systems (MSs) that allows engineering firms to meet the demands of the market quickly. RMSs have to be designed on the outset of the futuristic scalability to allow its cost-effective and prompt expansion according to the demands of the globe. As such, this research contribution provides the principles to given manufacturing systems’ design to enhance scalability.

Design for Sustainability and Reconfigurable Manufacturing Systems - An Critical Analysis

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.
