Abstract
Flexible, lean and demand oriented production system enabling efficient manufacture of high-variety low-volume products is desired. In order to realize these needs, production systems should enhance flexibility, scalability and reconfigurability. We propose a new production system which names “Module Structured Production System (MSPS)”. The MSPS consists of multiple production lines and manufacturing execution system. The production line is comprised of several production cells consist of function units. By changing the production cells and function units for processing products, optimize production line can be organized, rapidly. In this paper, the concept and the structure of MSPS are discussed.
