Flexible Manufacturing Systems (FMS)
Flexible Manufacturing.ppt (Size: 122.5 KB / Downloads: 94) What Is A Flexible Manufacturing System? Flexible Manufacturing System: - “A system that consists of numerous programmable machine tools connected by an automated material handling system” (2) History of FMS FMS first proposed in England in 1960’s “System 24” operates 24 hours a day Automation is main purpose in beginning How You Can Use FMS To reduce set up and queue times Improve efficiency Reduce time for product completion Utilize human workers better Improve product routing Produce a variety of Items under one roof Improve product quality Serve a variety of vendors simultaneously Produce more product more quickly Robots Robots: Programmable Manipulators Can tolerate hostile environments Can work much longer hours than humans Can perform redundant jobs more consistently (1) Computer Integrated Manufacturing CIM: “The Integration of the total manufacturing enterprise through the use of integrated systems and data communications coupled with new managerial philosophies that improve organizational and personnel efficiency.” (4) Challenges with FMS Determining if FMS the best production system for your company (economically and socially) Possible expansion costs associated with implementing FMS Day to day maintenance of FMS operations Making FMS Work By implementing the components of robotics, manufacturing technology and computer integrated manufacturing in a correct order one can achieve a successful Flexible Manufacturing System Benefits Enabled Ford to mix and match machine tools from different vendors (3) Reduced the number of man-years required to implement the application (3) The budget for the fully automatic closed-loop controller was less than 1/10th the cost for a system built in language. No formal training was required for the floor shop operators |
