Abstract

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.

Highlights

  • The aspect of manufacturing applies to the chemical and physical processes that alter the appearance, geometry and properties of a particular raw or semi-complete material to create product

  • We focus on the optimization of the original layout of the system i.e. removing or adding machines whenever required by the market promptly and cost-effectively

  • Scalability Planning Formulation In this paper, we propose a practical approach that determines a cost-effective system reconfiguration that potentially meets new demands of the market

Summary

INTRODUCTION

The aspect of manufacturing applies to the chemical and physical processes that alter the appearance, geometry and properties of a particular raw or semi-complete material to create product. Elements of MSs have to be arranged in a systematic manner, which allows smooth operation of the complete system to allow for the achievement of organization goals and objectives This has to be projected and addressed in the design process of MSs. Reconfigurable Manufacturing Systems (RMSs) are one whose subsystem or subsystem reconfiguration can be modified or changed after the process of fabrication for a particular purpose. The aspect of scalability in MSs denotes to the capacity to change its production capacity to possible adapt to the needs of production It is a fundamental system design feature, which evaluate ease of affordable transformation in a particular MSs’ throughput to meet the changes in the demands of the market. The major focus of this paper is on the aspect of scalability of rapidly transforming production capacity of MSs based on the removal or addition of machines.
