Abstract
The increased use of FMS to provide customers with diversified products efficiently has created a significant set of operational challenges for managers. This technology presents a number of decision problems to be solved by researchers and practitioners. There have been a number of attempts to solve design and operational problems in FMS. A special attention has been given to batch scheduling when flexible process plans (FPPs) remain available on the shop floor. An extensive simulation study under two manufacturing environments is performed to study the system performance in the presence of FPPs. Several interesting conclusions have been drawn from deadlock, makespan and mean flow time criteria.
