Abstract
This paper deals with the development of a microcomputer-based simulation model of a random flexible manufacturing system aimed at solving scheduling problems. The model is written in SLAM II and can be used interactively. It offers five alternative scheduling rules, but other rules could be incorporated if required. The selection process is demonstrated through an example, and an experimental design is conducted to evaluate the effect of changes in the levels of various resources on system performance.
