Reconfigurable Manufacturing System for Agile Mass Customization Manufacturing
نویسندگان
چکیده
Manufacturing companies are facing three challenges: low cost production of product, high quality standard and rapid responsiveness to customer requirements. These three goals are equally important for the manufacturing companies who want to be competitive in the global economy. Reconfigurable machining system facilitate the demand for Mass Customization Manufacturing, (MCM). The reconfigurable machining system is a subsystem of Reconfigurable Manufacturing System (RMS), which falls within the scope of Agile Manufacturing (AM). AM provides the ability to accomplish rapid changeover between manufacturing processes for different assemblies.
