Abstract
Many advanced product manufacturing approaches have been introduced in the market in recent years. Thus, it is critical to develop modern techniques which can effectively familiarize budding minds with the latest manufacturing procedures. In fact, the contemporary training methods and advanced education practices are crucial to uphold the interest of the new generation as well as to equip them with state-of the art systems. There is a need for innovative ideas and effective methodologies to inculcate the desired competency and prepare students for prospective manufacturing set ups. In the latest Industry 4.0 paradigm, visualization technologies, especially virtual reality, have been emphasized to sustainably train and educate young students. This work presents a technique for utilizing the leading visualization method based on virtual reality in product manufacturing. It aims to acquaint students with the prominent concept of Industry 4.0, the reconfigurable manufacturing system (RMS). The RMS has been a demanding topic for the novice and, most often, amateurs are not able to grasp and interpret it. Therefore, this paper outlines the various steps that can be useful for students in order to anticipate the RMS design, interact with it, understand its operation, and evaluate its performance.

Summary
Manufacturing processes and technologies have been subjected to continuous advancements and transformations in the Industry 4.0 concept owing to fickle customer demands as well as precise quality requirements [1]. The Industry 4.0 revolution, with advancements in automation, information, and communication technologies, has improved the capabilities and flexibilities of manufacturing systems They augment inherent system complexities, which make them cumbersome to understand and difficult to operate. The subjects or the courses in industrial and systems engineering programs are dedicated to product innovation and design, facility planning and design, manufacturing engineering (including materials sciences, processes, automation, and control), ergonomics, logistics and operations management, planning, scheduling, optimization, information systems, and statistics. Each of these courses introduces a part of the overall complexity. A case study has been presented to aid students in understanding the complexities of design, implementation, and assessing the performance and operation of reconfigurable manufacturing system (RMS)
