Abstract

A flexible manufacturing system (FMS) is one solution that allows any manufacturing system to withstand the market’s changing needs. FMS is a complex system consisting of several highly automated computer numerical control (CNC) machines, an efficient material handling system and a human operator. This paper focuses on a simulation based experimental study of the effects of factors such as stochastic demand, the number of automated guided vehicles (AGV), and sequencing rules on regular FMS performance. In this study, two levels (i.e. stochastic demand) and three levels (i.e. number of AGV and sequencing rules) are considered for the investigation. Tecnomatix software is used to simulate the FMS model in this research paper. Furthermore, the performance of the manufacturing system is assessed using four measures of performance such as total production, machine utilization, waiting time dan AGV utilization. The methodology proposed in this paper assists in determining the best factor level combination for each system performance parameter. Towards the end, the further scope is highlighted.
