Evolvable production systems and impacts on production planning

Production planning and control strategies have been changing in line with the constant change on product and customer requirements, under the light of technological and scientific advancements. Production systems which are based on mass production became obsolete in time hence companies, being profit oriented, are in need of new solutions towards mass customization to handle rapidly changing market conditions. To deal with this issue, production systems and production planning strategies have to be complementing each other. In this paper Evolvable Production Systems and its compatibility to Just in Time (JIT) Production compared to Material Requirement Planning (MRP) will be discussed.
