Future research opportunities—— Flexibility and other manufacturing criteria （续） Modification flexibility should be positively related to both aspects of quality. The more the equipment facilitates making minor design changes in a part, the easier it is to introduce quality improvements. Volume flexibility should have an inverse relationship with the proportion of acceptable pieces. The high capacity necessary for adjusting volume throughout a large range requires running equipment at high speeds which leads to more defects being produced. 分析情境 Future research opportunities—— Flexibility and other manufacturing criteria （续） Rerouting flexibility and the magnitude of the defect variance should be inversely related. As rerouting opportunities increase more machines fabricate the same type of part. They have different specifications and different degrees of wear which makes for a greater dispersion in meeting quality standards. Material flexibility and the proportion of acceptable pieces should be positively related. As the ability of a manufacturing process to adjust to unanticipated input variations goes up, the sources of possible defects are removed. 分析情境 Future research opportunities ——Flexibility comparisons（续） 实际与潜在柔性程度 收集两方面数据 若实际值低于潜在值，则找出差距存在的原因 提出并检验差距与哪些因素相关——更好地理解限制过程潜能的变量 制造经理找出相应的可控变量改善设备效率 Future research opportunities ——Flexibility comparisons（续） 差距分析 在了解计算机化是否得到有效利用方面很有用 近期研究表明美国制造商没有成功开发柔性程控自动化带来的战略机会，现有知识表明，是管理可控性问题，而非技术性问题 管理目标：最小化变更，实现生产顺利 管理者没有足够的新技术能力知识 Future research opportunities ——Flexibility comparisons（续） 完成同样任务的设备类型间的柔性对比 For each scale, actual and then potential flexibility could be compared among the processes. The analysis would be facilitated by the development of “flexibility profiles” which graphically depict the scale values for each type of process. 用于程控设备的柔性评价 程控设备被认为能提高制造柔性（有待做实际调查） Gerwin的美国车体成型自动化过程提供了可能性的事例 A summary of the results is provided in Table II.
