Description
Summary:The flexible manufacturing system (FMS) is as complex whole, raises concerns regarding the configuration and dimensioning, as well as on the conditions for implementation. The scientific researches in this paper, are directed towards the study and analysis of flexible manufacturing systems, in order to know their behaviour and performances as well, and if possible, even before their physical realization, and to establish the scientific basis for sizing, configuration and simulation patterns of flexile manufacturing systems. The ARENA simulation software can describe the complex interactions between resources and processes that take place within a FMS, a system of discrete events. In the simulation phase, evaluation of performance criteria allows the introduction of planning strategies in the use of system resources. After developing these models the verification and validation of the models, confirms their validity. The researches will be also extended in the domain of flexible manufacturing systems management and control in real and virtual environment.
