Abstract: Market scenario is becoming more dynamic and more customers driven. The reconfigurable manufacturing system is a system that is designed for cost-effective response to changes in production requirements. The goal in implementing an RMS is to be able to cope with random changes in production requirements through reconfiguration. There are certain factors that inhibit the successful implementation of RMS. In the present, work an index factors of RMS is proposed which evaluates the inhibiting power of these factors.

Keywords: reconfigurable manufacturing systems; RMS implementation; implementation factors; implementation barriers; adoption barriers; intensity; graph theory. (search for similar items in EconPapers)
