Efficiency Assessment of Reconfigurable Manufacturing Systems

assessment of the efficiency of s.p.g.c refineries using network dea

data envelopment analysis (dea) is a powerful tool for measuring relative efficiency of organizational units referred to as decision making units (dmus). in most cases dmus have network structures with internal linking activities. traditional dea models, however, consider dmus as black boxes with no regard to their linking activities and therefore do not provide decision makers with the reasons...

Reconfigurable Manufacturing Systems

Manufacturing companies in the 21st Century will face unpredictable, high-frequency market changes driven by global competition. To stay competitive, these companies must possess new types of manufacturing systems that are cost-effective and very responsive to all these market changes. Reconfigurability, an engineering technology that deals with cost-effective, quick reaction to market changes,...

Design of reconfigurable manufacturing systems

This paper explains the rationale for the development of reconfigurable manufacturing systems, which possess the advantages both of dedicated lines and of flexible systems. The paper defines the core characteristics and design principles of reconfigurable manufacturing systems (RMS) and describes the structure recommended for practical RMS with RMS core characteristics. After that, a rigorous m...

Reconfigurable manufacturing systems: Key to future manufacturing

Formal Development Of Reconfigurable Manufacturing Systems

Reconfigurable Manufacturing Systems (RMS) allows the system to update itself in order to treat new requirements or to avoid accidental damages. This reconfiguration offers more efficiency and power to manufacturing systems. However reconfigurability brings new challenges to designer and developers of this kind of systems. Insuring the reliability of the system will be a hard task. The use of f...
