Abstract

Purpose - To present a methodology for requirements specification for assembly system reconfiguration. Design/methodology/approach - Industrial needs were analysed through a series of interviews with personnel involved in the design and sales process. This was then compared to reported research in literature and a new method has been derived and demonstrated. Findings - An improved methodology for requirements specification leading to more efficient design and deployment of reconfigurable assembly systems. Originality/value - Provides a structured mechanism for performing requirements specification tasks that are currently done on an ad hoc basis.
