Manufacturing firms/companies in the present Century may have to face unpredictable un-expected high-rate, high risk market changes driven by global market competition. To stay competitive in the market, these companies must get equipped with the flexible manufacturing solutions and possess new types of manufacturing systems that are cost-effective and very responsive to all the market changes without compromising on the quality of the product and production. Re-configurability a new trend in the engineering technology that deals with cost-effective, quick reaction to market changes is needed. Reconfigurable manufacturing systems (RMS), adopts a system that is more sensitive to the changing market demands, whose components are reconfigurable machines and reconfigurable controllers, as well as methodologies for their systematic design and rapid ramp-up, are the cornerstones of this new manufacturing paradigm. In this paper a brief review on the Reconfigurable manufacturing systems (RMS) is drawn upon.
