“…While most of the works consider the lead time or scalability in one way or another, none of the stated works incorporate their impact simultaneously. The proposed work relates closely to the ramp up model developed by Matta et al (2008) and the works on capacity planning by Kuzgunkaya and ElMaraghy (2007), Spicer and Carlo (2007). We build on these previous works by representing ramp up period more precisely.…”

“…Youssef and ElMaraghy (2006) adopted Son's flow line configuration (2000) to minimise investment cost for a single period using a genetic algorithm. Matta et al (2008) presented a model for optimal reconfiguration policy to react to product changes without defining actual configuration. They stressed the consideration of multi periods and previous period configuration in the models for the decision of configuration in the current period.…”

During the expected lifetime, evolving economical and optimum reconfigurable manufacturing system (RMS) configuration in a desired period to give the exact functionality and the exact capacity needed, when it is needed, is an important optimisation problem. This paper presents RMS configuration design methodology in a desired period with optimisation of the present worth of total cost of RMS including capital cost of machine investment, reconfiguration costs, operating costs, maintenance costs and salvage value over time. The configuration decision considers flow line features such as multi-product, number of stages, and functionality blocks in each stage, etc., with various constraints satisfaction. Phase 1 aims at RMS evolution scenario and the mathematical modelling. Phase 2 evolves RMS configuration alternatives. Phase 3 aims at RMS configuration alternative optimisation using mathematical model and artificial immune system. A case study demonstrates the methodology, the effectiveness of the methodology and also some superiority of the proposed methodology compared to existing approaches.

“…Singh et al (2007) used a decision-making module to evaluate existing and new generation manufacturing systems. Matta et al (2008) proposed optimal reconfiguration policy to react to product changes based on uniformly distributed market demand and technological requirements. Zhang and Rodrigues (2009) proposed Petri net (PN) techniques to model RMS with focus on the process of reconfiguring system elements.…”

Design for sustainable manufacturing enterprise (DFSME) is considered to be a new ideologue regarding survival of manufacturing enterprise and it can also be considered as one of the most important solutions to deal with the existing global financial crisis. The DFSME is a systemic approach that simultaneously determines the aspects of sustainability and how they can be aggregated taking into consideration the globalisation issues. The problem addressed in this paper is how to present the concepts of sustainability to guide manufacturing enterprises analysts and designers with the most effective aspects for analysing sustainability. These aspects are: international issues; contemporary issues; innovative products; reconfigurable manufacturing systems; manufacturing strategies; business models; flexible organisation management; manufacturing strategies and performance measurements. Based on these aspects, the sustainable model will be analysed and presented through covering all aspects of sustainable manufacturing enterprise and the sustainability assessment will be measured. The ultimate goal of this paper is to consider the needs of manufacturing enterprise throughout most of the world to be sustainable as well as to be globalised enterprises. This analysis shows that the DFSME is a very large task and should be taken into consideration as one aspect of the next industrial revolution.
