Abstract
Abstract Axiomatic approach to develop an objective theory of flexibility in manufacturing system is presented. On the basis of some plausible axioms for a measure of flexibility, we suggest some information theoretie measures to quantify various types of flexibility. Four entropic measures are identified and the model illustrations for computations are given.

There has been some uncertainty concerning the conditions under which a manufacturing system may be termed 'flexible', so eight types of flexibilities are defined and described to clarify this confusion.

An initial domain for defining flexibility is established, specific measures are suggested, and sampling issues are discussed and an agenda for conducting rigorous research into the flexibility of manufacturing processes is outlined.

Monte Carlo simulations showed that those on concomitant efavirenz or rifampin have 49% and 80% probability of day 7 concentrations <200 ng/ml, respectively, a threshold associated with an increased risk of treatment failure.
