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 mathematical method is introduced for designing RMS with this recommended structure. An example is provided to demonstrate how this RMS design method is used. The paper concludes with a discussion of reconfigurable assembly systems. (C) 2011 The Society of Manufacturing Engineers. Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
