可重构制造系统被认为是能够根据需要提供精确功能和容量的下一代制造系统。 RMS 围绕零件系列进行设计，并提供定制的灵活性来制造零件系列的所有成员。然而，文献中也提供了围绕多个零件系列设计的 RMS。在真实的车间场景中，制造商必须处理多个零件系列的不同数量的订单，并且在生产特定系列的订单后，他们需要切换到不同零件系列的订单。从一个零件系列转换为另一个零件系列可能需要重新配置系统，这是一个复杂的过程，涉及成本和精力。将一种配置更改为另一种配置所涉及的复杂性和成本取决于现有的初始配置以及后续生产属于不同零件系列的订单所需的新配置。本文重点讨论确定多个零件系列订单所需的 RMS 的最佳配置。此外，部件系列的最佳顺序是根据给定系统配置获得的最大效益来确定的。通过示例演示了所提出的方法。
Reconfigurable manufacturing systems are recognized as next generation manufacturing systems capable of providing the exact functionality and capacity as and when required. An RMS is designed around a part family and provides customized flexibility to manufacture all the members of the part family. However, RMS designed around multiple part families are also available in literature. In a real shop floor scenario, the manufacturers have to deal with varied number of orders for multiple part families and after producing the orders of a particular family, they need to switch over to the orders of a different part family. Changing over from one part family to another may require the system’s reconfiguration, which is a complex process and involves both cost and efforts. The complexity and cost involved from changing one configuration to another depends on the existing initial configuration and the new configuration required for subsequent production of orders belonging to a different part family. This paper focuses on determining optimal configuration of an RMS required by multiple part family orders. Also, optimum sequence of part families is identified on the basis of maximum benefit earned for a given system configuration. The proposed methodology is demonstrated with an example.
