Change, in products and systems, has become a constant in
manufacturing. Changeable and Reconfigurable Manufacturing Systems
discusses many key strategies for success in this environment.
Changes can most often be anticipated but some go beyond the design
range. This requires providing innovative change enablers and
adaptation mechanisms.
Changeable and Reconfigurable Manufacturing Systems presents the
new concept of Changeability as an umbrella framework that
encompasses many paradigms such as agility, adaptability,
flexibility and reconfigurability. The book provides the
definitions and classification of key terms in this new field, and
emphasizes the required physical/hard and logical/soft change
enablers.
Over 22 chapters, the book presents cutting edge technologies,
the latest thinking and research results, as well as future
directions to help manufacturers stay competitive. It contains
original contributions and results from senior international
experts, experienced practitioners and accomplished researchers in
the field of manufacturing, together with industrial applications.
Changeable and Reconfigurable Manufacturing Systems serves as a
comprehensive reference and textbook for industrial professionals,
managers, engineers, specialists, researchers and academics in
manufacturing, industrial and mechanical engineering; and general
readers who are interested to learn about the new and emerging
manufacturing paradigms and their potential impact on the workplace
and future jobs.
