Abstract
The aim of this paper is to deal with a simulation study on effect of part launching, part sequencing at central buffer and tool selection rules on a flexible manufacturing system (FMS) involving tool movement along with part movement policy. A typical FMS is selected for a study of discrete event simulation model. Simulation experiments are conducted on various combinations of decision rules and it is found to be good in evaluated performance measures.
