Abstract
The design of robust manufacturing systems is a critical factor in ensuring long-term sustainability, efficiency, and resilience in the face of challenges such as market fluctuations, supply chain disruptions, and technological changes. A systemic approach to manufacturing system design emphasizes the integration of various subsystems, including production processes, resource management, and technology infrastructure, to create adaptable, flexible, and efficient systems. This article explores the principles and strategies for designing robust manufacturing systems, highlighting the role of optimization, risk management, and innovation in achieving operational excellence. We also discuss the future trends and opportunities for enhancing the resilience and agility of manufacturing systems through advanced technologies and collaborative approaches.
