Abstract
The environment of todays automated manufacturing machines is highly dynamic. Unpredictable changes in customer demands and shorter product lifecycles pose challenges for automated manufacturing systems which usually are designed for a static context. Thus, flexibility and changeability are discussed in order to face the challenges that arise from the dynamic production environment. This paper presents the results of two literature reviews on flexibility indicators and changeability indicators and discusses the determined indicators as well as their usage in the literature over time. A classification of the indicators based on their frequency of usage is also given.
