| Summary: | Flexible manufacturing system (FMS) was defined as highly automated group
technology machine cell, consisting of a group of processing stations interconnected by
I
an automated material handling and storage system, and controlled by an integrated
computer system. FMS can produce parts or products are in the mid-volume, midvariety
production range. The layout system in FMS is an importance criterion to design
the FMS system to produce a part or product. This facility layout of a FMS involves the
positioning of cells within given boundaries, so as to minimize the total projected travel
i
time between cells. Defining the layout includes specifying the spatial coordinates of
each cell, its orientation in either a horizontal or vertical position, and the location of its
load or unloads point. There are many type of FMS layout such as In-line, loop ladder
and robot centered cell layout. The research is concentrate on design and optimization
FMS layout. The final conclusion can be summarized that the objective to design and
optimize of FMS layout for this study is successful because FMS In-line layout is the
best layout based on effective time and cost using ARENA simulation software. |
