| Abstract | ||
| Africa is very rich contentment. In terms of population work force it has more than 1.3 billion people. Also, in terms of materials all kinds of materials, it is also a resource rich continent, with abundant reserves of oil, gas, minerals, and other natural resources. On the other side the industrial output of the contented is very low. In This research an attempt to increase the use of the industrial recourses by introducing reconfigurable manufacturing concept in order to decrease the production cycle time and increase manufacturing process efficiency. This new concept emerged in recent years as a new category in classification of manufacturing systems. In this paper this concept is tested for its potential benefits to the industry by a simulation comparison versus flexible manufacturing system. The results presented an improvement in the system output and thus reduction in the cost and time. | ||
