Reconfigurable manufacturing system: a systematic review, meta-analysis and future research directions
Purpose Uncertainties in manufacturing and changing customer demands force
manufacturing industries to adopt new strategies, such as the reconfigurable manufacturing
system (RMS). To improve the implementation and performance of RMS, it is necessary to
review the available literature and identify future trends in this field. This paper aims to
analyze existing literature and to see trends in RMS-related research. Design/methodology/

Purpose
Uncertainties in manufacturing and changing customer demands force manufacturing industries to adopt new strategies, such as the reconfigurable manufacturing system (RMS). To improve the implementation and performance of RMS, it is necessary to review the available literature and identify future trends in this field. This paper aims to analyze existing literature and to see trends in RMS-related research.
Design/methodology/approach
The systematic literature review and analysis of RMS-related research papers from 1999 to 2020 is carried out in this literature. The selected studies are analyzed based on the year of publication, journals, publishers, active authors, research design, countries, enablers, barriers, performance evaluation parameters and universities.
Findings
After the analysis of selected RMS-related research papers, the top countries, universities, journals, publishers and authors are identified in this domain. Research themes and trends in research are identified in this study. Besides, it has been noted that there is a need for further research in this domain and for the creation of a generalized framework that can guide researchers and practitioners to increase RMS adoption.
Practical implications
Research insights, guidance and observations from this paper are provided to RMS-related researchers and practitioners. Important research gaps are identified in this study, which can provide direction for future research and trends in RMS research.
Originality/value
The study presented focuses mainly on the method of collecting, organizing, capturing, interpreting and analyzing data to provide more insight into RMS to identify future trends in research.
