Abstract
Matrix production systems are modular, cycle time-independent, and flow-oriented production systems. They combine flexibility plus productivity and consist of flexibly linked and freely accessible process modules. The derivation and design of these process modules in flexible structures is still very time-consuming due to many degrees of freedom and limiting constraints. This paper presents a method for deriving flexible process modules, taking into account the creation of increased automation potentials, flexible order flows, and specialization in processes. The method consists of seven steps to derive harmonized process modules for multiple products. It is suitable for all manufacturing industries to reduce the planning effort. The defined process modules can be further used for layout planning.
