Trend towards a high level of product variety introduces manufacturingchallenges (switch between products, new and more variants, …) whichdirectly impact the manufacturing systems design and operation to cope withproduct changes efficiently and cost effectively.
A high level of flexibility and reconfigurability of the wor kplace isneeded.

Alternation - Can I replace a given component with
another component that has a different structure?
Orientation - Can I reposition a module in 3D space,
while maintaining the interface with another
module?
Placement - Which physical locations can I move a
given module to?
Connectivity - For a given module, which other
modules can I interface with?
Dependency - For a given module, which modules
are necessary to precede or follow?
Adaptability - To what degree should we allow re-
configuration after the initial configuration?
Uniformity - Which pieces should be pre-built and
standardized with limitations on modularity so that
the end product can retain a predictable form?
Modularize your People, Processes and Products

Basic automation Principle (USA)1. Understand/rethink your processes
� Input/output analysis� Value chain analysis� Charting techniques and mathematical modelling
2. Simplify your processes� Reduce unnecessary steps and moves
3. (Re)Automate your processes with flexibility in mind
