Assessment of Economic Efficiency at the Design Stages of Flexible Manufacture Systems

Abstract

Based on the analysis of economic and technical indicators of the efficiency of the flexible manufacture system (FMS), the criteria for choosing a cost-effective project of the hydraulic system were determined, taking into account the minimization of automated technical systems, technological equipment and increasing the productivity of the designed enterprise. The ranking method is used to decide the correct choice of the most effective FMS project. An algorithm is proposed to substantiate economic efficiency by minimizing the costs of the selected active elements and increasing the productivity of the investigated production. On the basis of a sequential, parallel and parallel-circular layout diagram of the production modules of the FMS, a study is carried out on their choice and economic justification. To determine specific comparative economic indicators from the point of view of minimizing the number of active elements and their temporal indicators of technological operations, an algorithm for choosing a layout diagram of a FMS production module is proposed. The developed algorithm makes it possible to evaluate the economic efficiency taking into account the number of active elements, their types and types of technological operations. The process of selection of the parallel-circular layout scheme of FMS depending on the number of finished products has been substantiated which ensures high performance of the parallel-circular layout scheme of FMS.
