“…These may be defined only after the start-up of the system and after measuring them in real conditions. The works of both Kovacs (1992) and Kost and Zdanowicz (2005) contradict each other. Kovacs (1992) suggests that modeling is the best way of finding an optimal solution in the design of FMS but at the same time Kost and Zdanowicz (2005) propose that modeling cannot represent a real-life FMS problem.…”

“…As their study was based on a dedicated type of FMS, the loading strategies were simply the procedures to allocate the operations to a number of same types of machines. Kost and Zdanowicz (2005) have presented the problems involving identification, modeling and simulation of the operations of FMS in their study. They have suggested that in order to carry out the simulation in a correct way, one must know the precise duration time of particular operations, both involving machining and transportation.…”

Global competition, advancements in technology and ever changing customers' demand have made the manufacturing companies to realize the importance of flexible manufacturing systems (FMS). These organizations are looking at FMS as a viable alternative to enhance their competitive edge. But, implementation of this universally accepted and challenging technology is not an easy task. A large number of articles have been reviewed and it is found that the existing literature lacks in providing a clear picture about the implementation of FMS. In this paper, work of various researchers has been studied and it is found that it is really a very difficult task for any organization to transform into FMS on the basis of existing research results. A wide gap exists between the proposed approaches/algorithms for the design of different components of FMS and the real-life complexities. Besides describing the gap in various issues related to FMS, some barriers, which inhibit the adaptation and implementation of

“…Furthermore, according to Balakrishnan et al (2007), the global competitiveness of economic manufacturing is striving for high quality products and low prices. This is due to dynamic competition among the manufacturers in securing their customers (Kost and Zdanowicz, 2005). The demand for high quality, low cost and on-time delivery has resulted in market fluctuations and greatly increased product choice.…”

Decomposition of Manufacturing Processes: A Review

Manufacturing is a global activity that started during the industrial revolution in the late 19th century to cater for the large-scale production of products. Since then, manufacturing has changed tremendously through the innovations of technology, processes, materials, communication and transportation. The major challenge facing manufacturing is to produce more products using less material, less energy and less involvement of labour. To face these challenges, manufacturing companies must have a strategy and competitive priority in order for them to compete in a dynamic market. A review of the literature on the decomposition of manufacturing processes outlines three main processes, namely: high volume, medium volume and low volume. The decomposition shows that each sub process has its own characteristics and depends on the nature of the firm's business. Two extreme processes are continuous line production (fast extreme) and project shop (slow extreme). Other processes are in between these two extremes of the manufacturing spectrum. Process flow patterns become less complex with cellular, line and continuous flow compared with jobbing and project. The review also indicates that when the product is high variety and low volume, project or functional production is applied.
