2. Flexible manufacturing system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flexible_manufacturing_system

   A flexible manufacturing system (FMS) is a manufacturing system in which there is some amount of flexibility that allows the system to react in case of changes, whether predicted or unpredicted. This flexibility is generally considered to fall into two categories, which both contain numerous subcategories. The first category is called routing ...

3. Computer-integrated manufacturing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer-integrated...

   The idea of "digital manufacturing" became prominent in the early 1970s, with the release of Dr. Joseph Harrington's book, Computer Integrated Manufacturing. [5] However, it was not until 1984 when computer-integrated manufacturing began to be developed and promoted by machine tool manufacturers and the Computer and Automated Systems Association and Society of Manufacturing Engineers (CASA/SME).

4. Reconfigurable manufacturing system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reconfigurable...

   A reconfigurable manufacturing system (RMS) is a system invented in 1998 that is designed for the outset of rapid change in its structure, as well as its hardware and software components, in order to quickly adjust its production capacity and functionality within a part family in response to sudden market changes or intrinsic system change.

7. Transfer line - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transfer_line

   Transfer line. A transfer line is a manufacturing system which consists of a predetermined sequence of machines connected by an automated material handling system and designed for working on a very small family of parts. Parts can be moved singularly because there’s no need for batching when carrying parts between process stations (as opposed ...

8. Computer-aided process planning - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer-aided_process...

   Computer-aided process planning. Computer-aided process planning (CAPP) is the use of computer technology to aid in the process planning of a part or product, in manufacturing. CAPP is the link between CAD and CAM in that it provides for the planning of the process to be used in producing a designed part. [1]

9. Quick response manufacturing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quick_Response_Manufacturing

   The concept of Quick Response Manufacturing (QRM) was first developed in the late 1980s by Rajan Suri, at the time professor of Industrial and Systems Engineering at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Combining growing academic research in Time-based Competition (TBC) with his own observations from various lead time reduction projects, Suri ...
