Abstract
An effective analytical model is developed to investigate the performance of an FMS with given system component failure/repair rates. System performance is measured analytically by projecting average part flow time, which is achieved by first conceptually transforming the FMS into multiple nonhomogeneous transfer lines. The efficiency and average part flow time of each transfer line are approximated by disaggregation and homogenization transformations and the decomposition technique. An aggregation of performance of all transfer lines predicts FMS performance. The small percentage difference between the average part flow time derived from an analytical model and from a simulation model indicates that the analytical model is an effective tool.
