Abstract

Matrix assembly layouts provide manufacturing flexibility under product variety and demand volatility through locally reconfigurable production stations. Periodic redesign exploits this flexibility, yet existing models allow only annual revisions. Finer calendars expose a flexibility-commitment trade-off: advance layout commitments support coordination, supplier agreements, and discounts. We introduce the layout revision timing problem, jointly choosing revision points and committed layout sequences under demand uncertainty while production adapts within those layouts. We formulate it as a par
