Nowadays manufacturing systems are characterized by constantly changing requirements caused by short lifecycle times of products, small batch sizes, increasing number of product variants and fast emergence of new technical solutions. Today’s turbulent production environment calls for adaptive and rapidly responding production systems that can adjust to required changes both in production capacity and processing functions. The European level strategic goal towards Competitive Sustainable Manufacturing (CSM) asks for the re-use and adaptation of production systems (Jovane et al., 2009). Adaptation allows users to utilize the full lifetime and potential of the systems and equipment and in this way supports the sustainability, both from economic and ecologic perspectives. However, in the previous projects (e.g. (Harms et al., 2008)), it has been recognized that, because of often expensive and inefficient adaptation process, companies rarely decide to adapt their production systems. This is mainly due lacking or insufficient information and documentation about the capabilities of the current system and its lifecycle, as well as lack of extensive methods to plan the adaptation. Today the adaptation of production systems is practically a human driven process, which relies strongly on the expertise of the system integrators or the end user of the system.
