This publication offers a framework and particular equipment and instruments for the choice and configuration of the ability of complicated production platforms (AMS). AMS comprise versatile production platforms, committed production platforms, and Reconfigurable production platforms. ranging from the attribute of the aggressive surroundings, the instructions given via the corporate technique, information in regards to the items, and data concerning the diversified approach architectures, the choice help method defined the following aids the choice maker through a formalized technique that follows a few of the steps required to outline the kind and timing of 'capacity' acquisition and to outline the exact configuration of AMS alongside its lifestyles cycle. the choice making framework and instruments illustrated during this quantity mix decision-making thought, optimization conception, discrete occasion simulation and queuing networks. it is going to be of curiosity to graduate scholars and researchers excited by production engineering, business engineering and operations learn.

This constraint is decided at the corporate level because it involves the analysis of the firm financial position. Models [A1-2]-M1 Models for capacity planning: these models are based on mathematical programming algorithms that, by elaborating fuzzy information from the prior production strategy planning activities, identify the strategic mix of manufacturing systems and manufacturing capacity. 2. Models for Production Strategy Planning As already mentioned in the previous section, the first level of the strategic planning process concerns the process of determining the production strategy.
The flexibility types considered by the fuzzy systems are: Product (mix- change) flexibility. This is the ability to change the current mix of products by adding new products or substituting the existing ones. Routing flexibility. This is the ability to manufacture a product by different alternative process routings throughout the system. Expansion flexibility. This is the ability to expand the manufacturing capacity, by means of modular system architectures. Reconfiguration Flexibility. This is the ability to change the system configuration when necessary to face market changes for new models of the same product.
The ability to react fast and with low costs to market changes (Agile Manufacturing). , 1992). On the other hand, every decision making process related to manufacturing investments involves considerations regarding: risk evaluation, uncertainty estimation, investment planning and timing. In case of AMS investment, these factors heavily impact the final decision because: a) the enterprise perceives a risk that is higher if compared with other manufacturing investments; b) AMSs embody an high flexibility degree that enlarges the investment scenario making higher the investment uncertainty; c) the competitive scenario evolution needs to be also evaluated in order to carry out a correct investment planning and timing.
