Abstract

The optimal design and control of flexible manufacturing systems is essential to minimize operating costs and enhance productivity. We present a hybrid mathematical model of a flexible manufacturing system as a closed network of queues for which the optimal cost effective system configuration is determined by a. partial implicit enumeration algorithm. The optimal configuration of both reliable and unreliable flexible manufacturing systems are considered.
