Abstract
The market demands more and more varied and personalized products and services. The work aims to improve the conceptual control of reconfigurable manufacturing systems, available to companies that work on the basis of orders, generically called "make-to-order" MTO, companies that require the most efficient reconfigurable manufacturing systems. Also, increasing the economic performance of these reconfigurable manufacturing systems, already in operation, is a goal of this work.
