Flexible Manufacturing
Flexibility also means implementing changes is a smooth production process. Risking to introduce disruptions in a process finetuned for the highest efficiency. The question is this how to implement changeovers with minimal cost and fast ROI.

Adaptation of production and supply chains
To achieve an optimal solution with maximum flexibility in production, it is important to consider many different factors.
A practical approach involves breaking down the workflow into functional levels to ensure agile manufacturing processes.
