A Three Level Model for the Design, Planning and Operation of Changeable Production Systems in Distributed Manufacturing

  • Conference paper
Book cover Enabling Manufacturing Competitiveness and Economic Sustainability

Abstract

This paper reviews the state of the art in reconfiguration of distributed production systems and develops an integrated model for the design, planning and operation of changeable production systems in distributed manufacturing. For the model development, a heuristic research method was applied involving a selected group of experienced experts. To test the practical relevance of the model, it was successfully applied for the design of a geographically distributed manufacturing network based on scalable and modular manufacturing units.
