Abstract
Reconfigurable Manufacturing System (RMS) is capable of adapting the configuration of manufacturing system to meet the dynamic demand volume and design changes. A RMS can be arranged into various configurations comprises machines and their equipment. Different configurations affect system performance in terms of initial capital cost of configuration, system availability, throughput, operational capability, quality, processing time and reconfigurable time. This paper presents a review of the core performance measures considered to select and compare alternate configurations.
