Abstract
This paper presents a systematic approach for design of timely and proper layouts of a manufacturing system facilitating reconfigurability, referred to as a reconfigurable manufacturing system. A proper methodology for design of a system layout is required for reconfiguration planning - adding or removing machines for supplying the exact capacity needed to fulfill market demands, as well as minimizing the cost of adding new machines. In this paper, theory of constraints is used to make reconfiguration manufacturing systems more cost-effective and efficiency. The proposed approach is validated by using a real industrial case. This paper suggests that the proposed study should be performed concurrently with the design of a new manufacturing system.
