Flexible Manufacturing Systems (FMS) is a manufacturing system with a high degree of flexibility. It was developed due to the need to increase productivity, improve product quality, and reduce cost for product production under the constraints of various uncertainties or disturbances both internal and external to the manufacturing system.

FMS offers manufacturers more than just a flexible manufacturing system. It offers a concept for improving productivity in mid-variety, mid-volume production situations, an entire strategy for changing company operations ranging from intemeil purchasing and ordering procedures to distribution and...

Some operations may not require setup. Flexible manufacturing systems, continuous production, or combint operations may not require setup time. Nonetheless, even a modest quantity may be appropriate in these circumstances. Discussion of the details regarding setup is given for each machine, process, or bench. [Pg.2314]
