Synthesis and reformulation of requirements on convertibility.

Requirement/subrequirement	(Re)formulation	Related literature sources
Convertibility 1	The CPPS shall have a modular physical structure that enables the rapid adjustment of its production functionalities.	[21, 22]
Convertibility 1.1	The CPPM shall provide reusable physical interfaces that enable it to participate in distinct production contexts.	[21, 22, 33, 35, 37]
Convertibility 1.2	The CPPS should provide interfaces that enable the physical composition of its CPPMs.	[6]
