Nowadays, many factories face changes on the global market and manufacturing is unpredictable. This fact creates a demand for developing new concepts of the factory which can represent a solution to these changes. This study presents a way for designing these new factory concepts, particularly a concept of the reconfigurable manufacturing lines. The methodology in this study uses characteristics of reconfigurable manufacturing systems for developing an algorithm for designing the basic factory layout. The methodology also combines classical math operations for designing the production layout with such approaches as simulation, cluster analysis, and LCS algorithm. This combination method with LCS algorithm and an entirely different approach to the design of the manufacturing line, has not yet been used. The accuracy of this methodology is then verified through the results of the complete algorithm containing these features. The main purpose of this study was to find new approaches to designing the reconfigurable factory layout. This article is presenting new ways that differ from the classical design method. The article suggests the new way is possible and the new systems also need new ways for designing and planning.

基于可重构性原理的生产线设计

如今，许多工厂都面临着全球市场的变化，并且制造业是不可预测的。这一事实对开发工厂的新概念提出了要求，这些概念可以代表这些变化的解决方案。这项研究提出了一种设计这些新工厂概念的方法，尤其是可重构生产线的概念。本研究中的方法论使用可重构制造系统的特征来开发用于设计基本工厂布局的算法。该方法还结合了经典的数学运算来设计生产布局，并采用了模拟，聚类分析和LCS算法等方法。尚未使用这种与LCS算法结合的方法以及用于生产线设计的完全不同的方法。然后，通过包含这些功能的完整算法的结果来验证此方法的准确性。这项研究的主要目的是找到设计可重构工厂布局的新方法。本文介绍了不同于经典设计方法的新方法。本文建议采用新方法，新系统还需要采用新方法进行设计和规划。
