Obiettivo In the today's increasingly uncertain environment, production managers need new methods and tools to support them on decisions about planning, monitoring and changing a production system. The ability to change and adapt under both external and internal fluctuations is often referred to as the flexibility degree of the system. The X-CHANGE project aims at devising and integrating flexibility measures into decision support processes for lifecycle and change management, thus providing a modelling and software framework for enhancing the effectiveness of the European industry.The main objectives of the project area) to develop an innovative, LIVE flexibility modelling and analysis methodology with wide applicability range andb) to materialize this methodology into an OPEN-INTERFACE SOFTWARE FRAMEWORK able to facilitate lifecycle and change management in production systems and extended enterprises that operate in dynamically changing environments.X-CHANGE will primarily focus on evaluating flexibility for providing decision-support in the management and planning of short and mid-term changes of a manufacturing system, addressing production and business processes in a multi-level structure. Lifecycle and changeability management upon long-term scenarios will also be addressed. X-CHANGE will utilize production and business data for a number of processes - such as changes of work pieces and tools, CNC reprogramming, changing machines loading, investing on new equipment or labour - as well as information related to the production facilities operation, product orders, suppliers, transportation and inventory logistics.The consortium includes manufacturers from diverse sectors, thus cultivating the development of generic/global solutions, software companies that are already active in the development of web-based decision support systems, and academic institutions, which have been involved in a significant number of relevant extended enterprise lifecycle management projects Campo scientifico natural sciencescomputer and information sciencessoftware Programma(i) FP6-NMP - Nanotechnologies and nanosciences, knowledge-based multifunctional materials and new production processes and devices: thematic priority 3 under the 'Focusing and integrating community research' of the 'Integrating and strengthening the European Research Area' specific programme 2002-2006.
