Reconfigurable manufacturing system (ie, RMS) is a recent class of manufacturing systems
which is featured by six basic characteristics (ie, modularity, integrability, customization,
convertibility, scalability, and diagnosability). These characteristics allow RMS to be
responsive and cost-effective. However, their complex structure and the complex design of
modern products make the creation of a supply-chain process plan as an important task to
get the final product. This paper deals with a bi-objective minimization problem which is …
