Manufacturing industries are moving from mass production towards customized production, aiming for high-quality products with innovative technologies, low prices, and high reliability. A reconfigurable manufacturing system (RMS) is an attractive approach to facilitate the movement toward such flexible systems. However, reconfiguration programming of RMS time-consuming labor-intensive. Industry ...
