An architecture framework which establishes a common practice for creating, analyzing and representing manufacturing systems during design and re-design processes is proposed. This paper includes a study of the main architecture frameworks and their use within a systematic design process for manufacturing systems. A class diagram is related to a physical architectural framework with manufacturing...
The current context of quick changes in terms of production types and volumes increasingly impacts assembly system design. Deciding on an optimal system configuration for a mix of different products and responding to uncertain evolutions of the market demand are crucial challenges for future manu-facturing. This article reviews the main strategies dealing with variety and product change in assembly...
This paper proposes a generic model for Reconfigurable and Agile Manufacturing Systems (RAMS). This model is based on a decomposition of RAMS along two axes. The first, horizontal, axis concerns the system's structure and its configurations. The second, vertical, axis distinguishes the logical part and the physical part. Secondly, we propose a formalization and representation for each component of...
In certain design problems, the solution can have collective implications that are experienced by a number of different people with different responsibilities — a team of decision-makers. In such cases, the design problem should be addressed in a collective manner, so that everyone's considerations are taken into account. Unfortunately, even though there is a vast body of literature on simulation...
