Flexibility
General desciption of Flexibility:
Flexibility in manufacturing means the ability to deal with slightly or greatly mixed parts, to allow variation in parts assembly and variations in process sequence, change the production volume and change the design of certain product being manufactured.

Comment:
The same characteristics that allow COROMA to reduce the lead time provide the system with a grater flexibility. The capablilty to localice the workpiece and to adapt to certain extent the operation to its specific geometry alloews the system to transform worpiees with differetn sizes and geometry.
In addition to this, the capability to learn from previous operations provides an extra in its flexibility.
