dc.description.abstractThere is a lack of a design method for the manufacturing system reconfiguration to cope with the changing demand and evolving production technologies while minimising energy consumption. The key drivers for the new industrial paradigm are flexibility and sustainable manufacturing, which have been studied independently in the prior research. The aim of this research is to study two drivers simultaneously by designing robust models and analysing manufacturing system configurations to achieve feasible solutions in any scenario that may arise due to evolving, incomplete, and unforeseen production requirements, while minimising energy usage during product manufacture. To achieve this goal, this research develops a robustly validated pre-emptive decision engineering framework (DEF) for the manufacturing system reconfiguration process to manage future uncertainty of future conditions and identifies current production vulnerabilities and alternative production portfolios. In this research, a robust RMS reconfiguration strategy is designed using a compromise decision support problem (cDSP), and decentralised decision-making designs are explored through the use of game theory. The findings provide a new production system for adaptable, responsive, and sustainable manufacturing processes in the dynamic global economy. These results can empower stakeholders to make timely design decisions that lead to significant cost savings and sustainable manufacturing.en_UK
