An operational approach to conceptualization and the measurement of manufacturing flexibility is presented. A critical review of selected measures from the literature is provided in the context of the operational approach. A flexibility measure is proposed. A formulation and the features of the proposed measure are discussed. An application of the measure is demonstrated through a hypothetical example. Using the same example, selected flexibility measures from the literature are evaluated. The performance of the measures and the proposed measure are compared.

Flexibility analysis: a methodology and a case study Kahyaoglu, Y; Kayaligil, S; Buzacott, JA (Informa UK Limited, 2002-11-10) A methodology for analysing manufacturing flexibility is proposed. A real-life case is discussed to demonstrate the proposed methodology. The case involves the grinding operations of an engine manufacturer. As an integral part of the methodology, statistical analyses using response surface methodology are carried out. Potential applications of the proposed methodology are discussed. Planning models and flexibility measure used are outlined in the appendices.
Optimal initialization of manipulation dynamics by vorticity model of robot hand preshaping. Part II: Analyses of grasp initialization and its vorticity based optimization Erkmen, Aydan Müşerref; Tekkaya, E (Wiley, 2000-04-01) Our work focuses on developing methods of determining the optimal preshape of a robot hand closing onto an object in order to achieve at contact a certain stability and manipulability degree based on kinematic considerations. This purposive closing of a preshaped hand should then be kinematically modelled in such a way that impact force patterns on the object can naturally be deduced from the model and be optimized such that upon contacting the object the desired optimum initial conditions of manipulation a...
"High precision CNC motion control" Ay, Gökçe Mehmet; Dölen, Melik; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2004) This thesis focuses on the design of an electrical drive system for the purpose of high precision motion control. A modern electrical drive is usually equipped with a current regulated voltage source along with powerful motion controller system utilizing one or more micro-controllers and/or digital signal processors (DSPs). That is, the motor drive control is mostly performed by a dedicated digital-motion controller system. Such a motor drive mostly interfaces with its host processor via various serial comm...
Tool allocation in flexible manufacturing systems with tool alternatives Buyurgan, N; Saygin, C; Kilic, SE (Elsevier BV, 2004-08-01) In this paper, a heuristic approach for tool selection in flexible manufacturing systems (FMS) is presented. The proposed approach utilizes the ratio of tool life over tool size (LIS) for tool selection and allocation. The proposed method selects tool types with high LIS ratios by considering tool alternatives for the operations assigned to each machine. The performance of the method is demonstrated in sample problems as static examples, as well as in a simulation study for further analysis. This study also...
A case-based reasoning model as an organizational learning tool Ozorhon, B,; Dikmen Toker, İrem; Birgönül, Mustafa Talat (null; 2005-06-03) Organizational learning (OL) is a set of activities to obtain organizational memory (OM) byacquiring, sharing, interpreting, integrating and institutionalizing knowledge. Although the OLprocess of construction firms has been discussed for several times, utilization of the output ofthese activities has not been investigated in depth. All companies can learn but the advantage oflearning is revealed when companies enhance their decision-making abilities through their OM.The major objective of this...
