Towards an Analysis of the Adaptability Potential of a Collaborative Manufacturing System
Résumé
Due to unpredictable events, businesses have to enhance their adaptation potential. While traditional manufacturing systems have shown many advantages in stable environments, they struggle to cope with new events such those experienced during the COVID-19 pandemic. New approaches to adapting manufacturing systems are therefore to be designed, particularly with the desire to detect more simply and more quickly the potential to take charge unforeseen needs, especially in a Collaborative Network Organizations (CNOs) environment. This raises the research question of How to assess the adaptability potential of a manufacturing system in a context of (CNO)? In this regard, this paper proposes a functional framework of a decision making process that helps to identify the adaptability of manufacturing systems for a new product requirement within a collaborative network. An illustrative case is proposed to highlight the steps that constitute our functional framework.
