About the Book

Many companies have realized that in order to compete in today's world market, they must rely on innovative developments in manufacturing technology. To increase productivity, companies are applying computer controlled machine tools, automated materials handling and storage systems. Due to the progress made in manufacturing technology and organization, the Flexible Manufacturing concept has emerged. A typical Flexible Manufacturing System (FMS) requires high investment in manufacturing components and computer control. Modelling has become an essential part of the FMS design and management methodology. This book - the first of its kind in this important area - shows the importance of modelling of FMSs. It presents a comprehensive and systematic review of FMS planning models; discusses different modelling and design aspects of materials handling systems; covers management of new technology, production and process planning issues, and emphasises the FMS design phase. Because FMS imposes special requirements for software, the book also deals with frameworks for information systems, decision support and expert systems. Case studies and applications are also presented.

Table of Contents:
1. Introduction. A review of FMS planning models (A.J. van Looveren et al.). The evolution of robotics in manufacturing (J.F. Bard). 2. Materials Handling Systems. Materials handling and logistics: demands for efficiency and flexibility (W. Grosseschallau). Autonomous material handling in computer-integrated manufacturing (C.G. Cassandras). Parts and tools handling systems (A. Kusiak). Robot system hazard assessment using event trees (R.H. Jones et al.). 3. Strategic Planning. The TESPA-concept of FMS (A.M. Huska). Perspectives on flexibility in manufacturing: hardware vs. software (J. Blackburn, R. Millen). Technical advances and competitive position: gaining a strategic edge from automated batch production (C.A. Lengnick-Hall, D.C. King). Manufacturing-marketing strategic interface: the impact of FMSs (G.H.G. McDougall, H.A. Noori). 4. Production and Process Planning. Towards a hierarchical structure for production planning and control in FMSs (A. Villa, S. Rossetto). Production scheduling and materials requirements planning for flexible manufacturing (C. White). Computer-aided technological process planning: methods, systems and application experiences (I. Cser, T. Toth). 5. System Design. Modeling a system of flexible manufacturing cells (Y. Dallery, D.D. Yao). Analysis of an FMS design problem by power approximation (H. Wang). 6. Information and Decision Support Systems. FMSs: an information systems framework (S.I. Ahmad, B. Farah). Decision support requirements for production planning in FMS environments (A. Dutta). 7. Expert Systems. Knowledge based control system for automated production and assembly (D. Ben-Arieh). Applications of decision support and expert systems in FMSs (E. Turban, M. Sepehri). 8. Petri Nets. Petri Nets for specification of FMSs (J. Martinez et al.). 9. FMS Applications. FMS applications in Germany: objectives and constraints (H.J. Warnecke et al.). Author Index.
