摘要:
Looks at reconfigurability - the ability of organizations to become self-driven - as a challenge to manufacturing success factors. States that reconfigurability is the main characteristic of recent manufacturing approaches and thus it is important to be able to measure it. Presents a case for the measurement of reconfigurability where change processes are analyzed and the prerequisites of reconfigurability are pointed out. Concludes that self-organized and autonomous organizations do not use scheduling in the classical sense and instead fulfil objectives as soon as they are set.
