 Composite performance metric for product flow configuration selection of reconfigurable manufacturing system (RMS)Prince Pal Singh, Jatinder Madan and Harwinder Singh International Journal of Production Research, 2021, vol. 59, issue 13, 3996-4016 Abstract: This paper proposes a new metric for product flow configuration selection for reconfigurable manufacturing system (RMS) that considers nine industrially relevant important factors. The metrics for the identified factors are first proposed and a composite performance metric (CPM) that accounts for the nine factors is proposed to assess RMS performance. The developed methodology of CPM provides the user to opt either a subjective or an objective approach to assign suitable weights for each of the nine performance metrics. Developed CPM has been applied in an industrial environment with the support of a manufacturing company by taking two case study parts and alternate configurations to conduct the study. The research work presented in the paper presents a novel approach to identify the most suitable configuration in a RMS addressing a major challenge faced by the industry.
