Abstract

Reconfigurable manufacturing system is a new type of responsive manufacturing system which can adjust its setup to adjust its capacity and functionality with least effort and time when the demand for the product changes. Reconfigurable manufacturing system (RMS) has the exact capacity and functionality whenever is required.In the present work, an integrated approach of Shannon entropy and multi-attribute range evaluation (MARE) has been used for scheduling of the products. Weights of criteria have been calculated using Shannon entropy and ranking is obtained using MARE. MARE calculates the uncertainty of decision variables into the uncertainty of ranking. For scheduling of products, three criteria have been considered; reconfiguration effort, profit over cost and due date.
