Abstract

Among recent production paradigms, Reconfigurable Manufacturing Systems can be considered as ideal candidates for achieving industrial production dynamic adaptation, while minimizing direct and indirect costs. Although their physical and logical features provide for more effective production capacity adjustability, relationships among the implemented scalability policies, operational control parameters, business goals and the adopted market strategies become more and more critical. In this paper, considering the state of the art in RMSs capacity management problem, some sensitivity analysis results will be presented to show how, generally, inventory-based capacity scalability policies determine both unsatisfactory customer service levels and cost profiles.
