2 Working Group opening-outline ABOUT - Opening, welcome, introduction of invited guests, approval of the agenda About - Planning Tools The Vision ABOUT - 2

3 The Vision ABOUT - Changes in Products Technological features Material Introduction, death or substitution of products in the part-mix Variations in the production ratios Changes in Production System Machine architectures and technologies System architecture and system layout Man-machine interaction Production planning and Control Quality control Interaction with the Environment Changes in Processes New Technologies Traditional process improvement Pro-environment legislation Co-evolution The Mission ABOUT - The Mission is to investigate approaches, techniques and methods devoted to determine the most appropriate evolution strategy for a production system, grounding on knowledge about competitive environment changes, with a particular focus on the evolving characteristics of products and processes. 3

4 Links with Changeability ABOUT - Links with projects Projects ABOUT - Title PROMISE VRL-KCiP Type European Integrated Project (FP6-IST-IP )-IMS project No European Network of Excellence (FP6- NoE ) Status Ongoing Ongoing RMS Reconfig.

5 Links with the VRL KCiP ABOUT - The Virtual Research Lab for a Knowledge Community in Production Coordinator: Prof. Serge Tichkiewitch Integrating activities Jointly executed research activities Spreading excellence activities Links with the VRL KCiP ABOUT - Jointly executed research activities JRA-WP2: Product models and product development processes- Prof. F-L. Krause T20: Application of models to industrial reference products and deriving common future fields of research - Prof. E. Westkamper T22: To take into consideration rapid prototyping processes such as RE, RP for tele-engineering and rapid production - Prof. A. Fischer JRA-WP3: Knowledge management Prof. L. Monostori T23: To collect and formalize knowledge about production processes (machining, forging, injection, stamping, hydro forming and others); definition of eco-efficiency characteristics, publishing examples of use, good practices, etc. - Prof. A. Bernard T24: To collect and formalize knowledge about design and virtual prototyping. - Prof. G. Chryssolouris T25: To provide knowledge in process simulation, remote analysis, simulation and visualization of process parameter Prof. Z. Weiss 5

6 Links with ManuFuture ABOUT - Development directions The mainstream of future development defining manufacturing as adaptive, digital networked, knowledge-based will be characterized by: Life-cycle orientation Product-integrated services Adaptive and Reconfigurable Manufacturing A characteristic of next-generation manufacturing systems will be the evolvability, whose realization will depend on integrative engineering of product and process. Research contents ABOUT - Open Issues Characterization of evolution scenarios for products/processes and production systems (Scenario analysis); Formalization of information characterizing the link between products/process and production systems; Economical analysis of changeability and reconfigurability at a production system level (Protection of investments); Configuration/Reconfiguration planning under uncertainty; Influence of production system evolution on manufacturing strategy; Filling the gap between the inertia of production systems and the frequency of change of products/processes and manufacturing strategies (co-evolution). 6
