摘要: Abstract The study and formulation of manufacturing flexibility measures has been inhibited by the lack a conceptual structure to encourage model development. In this paper, we introduce framework facilitate development measures. It also proves be useful in validating types. Measures various types are drawn from literature compared with purposes criteria for `best' presented. For volume expansion flexibility, is used develop new This followed discussion relationships among some sample highlighted.
