Disruptions in supply chains, changing customer requirement, and fluctuating volume demands create a production situation where companies need to have the ability to reconfigure the production to stay competitive. However, to implement reconfigurable production solutions efficiently, identifying the current state of reconfigurability is necessary. Several methods for assessing and evaluating reconfigurability have been proposed previously but as reconfigurability might be unfamiliar to companies, difficulties in profoundly understanding the field exist. In order to aid manufacturing companies in initially evaluate their reconfiguration ability, the purpose of this paper is to picture the introduction of changeability in the industrial practice and aid manufacturing companies in initially evaluating their current reconfigurability. The paper introduces a rapid reconfigurability assessment method that will support this introduction. The tool includes the assessment areas of Modular system, Standardized interfaces, Mobility of Equipment, and Volume/Product variety capability, i.e., elements directly related to reconfigurability. To ensure industrial application of the tool, it was tested jointly by practitioners and researchers in multiple manufacturing companies. In the application of the tool, the current ability of reconfigurability amongst the companies was identified and dialogues regarding the development towards a more reconfigurable production was initiated. This enabled the possibility for realizing the adjustments in production to cope with disruptions and changes.
