Analysis of Resilience Situations for Complex Engineered Systems – the Resilience Holon

Aspects of resilience for smart manufacturing systems

“…Furthermore, what can make the concept of resilience quantifiable, and therefore addressable, when considering system operations and processes? Literature related to the concept of resilience will discuss a variety of overlapping qualities, these include (see also Figure 2): Reliability—a common facet of daily system operation, a manufacturing system needs to be reliable (Freeman & Varga, 2021; Kott & Linkov, 2019). Flexibility—a manufacturing system can change its operation to cater for changes in process or product parameters or conditions (Freeman & Varga, 2021; Maurer & Schumacher, 2018; McCarthy et al, 2017; Meyer et al, 2020; Thoma et al, 2016).…”

Adaptability—the ability to adapt manufacturing to new products or processes (adaptability is similar to flexibility, but here the difference is between new and existing processes or products; Freeman & Varga, 2021; Maurer & Schumacher, 2018; Meyer et al, 2020; Thoma et al, 2016).…”

Configurability—another quality that can be related to flexibility or adaptability, but being configurable, or reconfigurable, allows manufacturing to quickly change a process or make changes to a product (McCarthy et al, 2017; Zhang & van Luttervelt, 2011).…”
