“…(Table 3 here) Table 3 exploits references to catalogue modularity, integrability, diagnosability, convertibility and scalability in either configuration or reconfiguration characteristics. In some papers (the first five within Table 3), modularity, integrability and diagnosability are indicated as supporting characteristics, while scalability and convertibility are essential ones (Koren, 2005;Wiendahl et al, 2007;Koren and Shpitalni, 2010;Rösiö, 2012;Hasan, Jain and Kumar, 2014). For some authors (Koren and Shpitalni, 2010; Rösiö, 2012) modularity, integrability and diagnosability do not guarantee modifications in production capacity and functionality, but they have an impact on essential characteristics.…”

Nowadays, manufacturing firms are dealing with the unpredictability of market requirements and the frequent changes induced by technological innovation. For this reason, firms are more and more addressing the need to be responsive at an affordable cost. To do so, they are required to develop a capability called reconfigurability. This paper is a review of the existing literature because the current need makes interesting to reflect on the state of the art of reconfigurability as a concept. This reflection has led to focus on reconfigurability characteristics for both their relevance and their relationships with managerial decisions in manufacturing. To this end, a framework has been proposed. It is based on system lifecycle and production levels. These two elements have been deduced from literature and identified as relevant dimensions for decision making.

“…Some authors clearly evidenced a relationship between modularity and convertibility, in particular modularity simplifies convertibility (Gumasta et al, 2011;Hasan, Jain and Kumar, 2014). Other authors pointed out that modularity influences scalability (Deif and ElMaraghy, 2007a;Wang and Koren, 2012).…”

The paper contributes to development of RMS through linkage with external stakeholders such as customers and suppliers of parts/raw materials to handle demand fluctuations that necessitate information sharing across the supply chain tiers. RMS is developed as an integrated supply chain hub for adjusting production capacity using a hybrid methodology of decision trees and Markov analysis. The proposed Markov Chain model contributes to evaluate and monitor system reconfigurations required due to changes of product families with consideration of the products life cycles. The simulation findings indicate that system productivity and financial performance in terms of the profit contribution of product-process allocation will vary over configuration stages. The capacity of an RMS with limited product families and/or limited model variants becomes gradually inoperative whilst approaching upcoming configuration stages due to the end of product life cycles. As a result, reconfiguration preparation is suggested quite before ending life cycle of an existing product in process, for switching from a product family to a new/another product family in the production range, subject to its present demand. The proposed model is illustrated through a simplified case study with given product families and transition probabilities.
