A flexible manufacturing system (FMS) is a manufacturing system in which there is some amount of flexibility that allows the system to react in the case of changes, whether predicted or unpredicted. This flexibility is generally considered to fall into two categories, 1. Machine flexibility, covers the system's ability to be changed to produce new product types, and ability to change the order of operations executed on a part. 2.Routing flexibility, which consists of the ability to use multiple machines to perform the same operation on a part, as well as the system's ability to absorb large-scale changes, such as in volume, capacity, or capability.The main advantages of an FMS is its high flexibility in managing manufacturing resources like time and effort in order to manufacture a new product. The best application of an FMS is in the production of small sets of products like those from a mass production.

FMS (Flexible Manufacturing Systems FMS.ppt (Size: 6.31 MB / Downloads: 433) Definition A Flexible Manufacturing System (FMS) is a production system consisting of a set of identical and/or complementary numerically controlled machine which are connected through an automated transportation system. each process in FMS is controlled by a dedicated computer (FMS cell computer). Equipment of FMS Primary equipment work centers Universal machining centers (prismatic FMSs) Turning centers (rotational FMSs) Grinding machines Nibbling machines Process centers Wash machines Coordinate measuring machines Robotic work stations Manual workstations FMS different approaches The capability of producing different parts without major retooling A measure of how fast the company converts its process/es from making an old line of products to produce a new product The ability to change a production schedule, to modify a part, or to handle multiple parts Disadvantage of using FMS Limited ability to adapt to changes in product or product mix (ex:machines are of limited capacity and the tooling necessary for products, even of the same family, is not always feasible in a given FMS) Substantial pre-planning activity Expensive, costing millions of dollars Technological problems of exact component positioning and precise timing necessary to process a component Sophisticated manufacturing systems FMS Layouts Continued Ladder Layout: Parts can be sent to any machine in any sequence Parts not limited to particular part families Open Field Layout: Most complex FMS layout Includes several support stations |
