| Abstract | The second half of this century may be termed as the age of
flexible manufacturing. This flexible manufacturing technique can
offer varieties of parts to be produced within a short time span
without any major change in the setup. That's why it is highly a
strategic decision to select the proper FMS model which may ensure
optimality in manufacturing.
In this study, some commonly favorite FMS models have been
designed through simulation. This simulation was performed using
the simulation language - SIMAN. Also, the models were visualized
using CINEMA, the graphics of SIMAN. The Analytic Hierarchy Process
(AHP) was used to evaluate the simulated models and to find out the
optimal one for the manufacturing environment considered here. A
software package, the "EXPERT CHOICE" was used for the analytic
hierarchy process. |
