Description
Summary:A Reconfigurable Manufacturing System (RMS) combines Dedicated Manufacturing Lines (DML) with Flexible Manufacturing Systems convertibility. Thus, it has the capacity of producing a wide range of parts, at different production levels and in conditions of high economic efficiency. To adapt rapidly and properly to needed capacity and functionality, a Reconfigurable Manufacturing System allows rapid changes in its structure, no matter if talking about hard or soft components. This paper aims to enounce and to detail Reconfigurable Manufacturing System design principles.
