Abstract
As the global environment changes rapidly and the information technology develops quickly in recent years, requirements for the production become diverged widely and sophisticated highly. The flexible production systems developed in DENSO are evaluated by the performance function ‘Life Cycle Cost’ of the production volume and compared with conventional systems. The results show that the flexible production systems contribute to the management of the manufacturer.
