Abstract
The paper examines the practical features of EMS, their important elements and structure, and emphasises the technical and economic advantages of flexible manufacturing. The major planning procedures and design principles of EMS are considered relating to work and information flows, transportation equipment, machine tools, interface problems and computer integration and linking of systems. The use of computer simulation in planning for FMS is emphasised and illustrated. Simulation is essential in evaluating the detailed specification and performance requirements, and in achieving an optimum result with economy in use of resources, and confidence in completion on time.
