“…The common aim of the models proposed in these papers is to reduce costs, whereas it is found that if achieving this aim, an economic sustainability is fulfilled. The cost reduction is specified to certain areas, for instance maintenance [26,28,39,43], inventory [38,39], transportation [22,25,35], investment [21,43], manufacturing [19,29,31,38,39], and reconfiguration cost [22,26,29,31,32,35,39]. The latter can be recognized as a fairly exclusive cost for RMS, on the basis that this type of manufacturing system leads to more frequent system-, machine-and tool changes.…”
