Abstract

Received: 19 July 2018 Abstract Accepted: 23 November 2019 Today’s manufacturing environment is highly uncertain, and it is continuously changing. It is characterized by shorter life cycles of products and technologies, shorter delivery times, an increased level of customization at the price of a standard product, increased product variety, quality as well as demand variability and intense global competition. Academicians, as well as practitioners, agree that uncertainty will continue to grow in the twenty-first century. To deal with the uncertainties in demand variation and production capacity a manufacturing system is required which can be easily reconfigured when there is a need at low cost. A reconfigurable manufacturing system is such a type of system. In the present work, the concept of the reconfigurable manufacturing system has been discussed and reviewed. It has been compared with dedicated systems and flexible manufacturing systems. Part family formation and barriers of reconfiguration also have been discussed. This work is an attempt to contribute to the conceptual systematization of the reconfigurable manufacturing system and reconfigurability by synthesizing the vast literature available after a systematic review.

可重构制造系统——一类新的制造系统

今天的制造业环境是高度不确定的，并且它是不断变化的。它的特点是产品和技术的生命周期更短，交货时间更短，以标准产品的价格增加定制水平，增加产品种类，质量以及需求变化和激烈的全球竞争。学者和从业者一致认为，不确定性将在21世纪继续增加。为了处理需求变化和生产能力的不确定性，需要一个制造系统，当有需要时，它可以很容易地以低成本重新配置。可重构制造系统就是这样一种系统。本文对可重构制造系统的概念进行了讨论和综述。并与专用系统和柔性制造系统进行了比较。讨论了零件族的形成和重构的障碍。这项工作是一个尝试，有助于概念系统化的可重构制造系统和可重构性，通过综合大量文献后，系统的审查。

期刊介绍： Management and Production Engineering Review (MPER) is a peer-refereed, international, multidisciplinary journal covering a broad spectrum of topics in production engineering and management. Production engineering is a currently developing stream of science encompassing planning, design, implementation and management of production and logistic systems. Orientation towards human resources factor differentiates production engineering from other technical disciplines. The journal aims to advance the theoretical and applied knowledge of this rapidly evolving field, with a special focus on production management, organisation of production processes, management of production knowledge, computer integrated management of production flow, enterprise effectiveness, maintainability and sustainable manufacturing, productivity and organisation, forecasting, modelling and simulation, decision making systems, project management, innovation management and technology transfer, quality engineering and safety at work, supply chain optimization and logistics. Management and Production Engineering Review is published under the auspices of the Polish Academy of Sciences Committee on Production Engineering and Polish Association for Production Management.
