A flexible manufacturing system (FMS) is a manufacturing system in which there is some amount of flexibility that allows the system to react in case of changes, whether predicted or unpredicted. This flexibility is generally considered to fall into two categories, which both contain numerous subcategories.
The Flexible Services and Manufacturing Journal is a peer-reviewed academic journal published by Springer Science+Business Media. The journal was originally published under the title "International Journal of Flexible Manufacturing Systems" and Kathryn Stecke was the founding Editor-in-Chief. [ 1 ]
The International Journal of Advanced Manufacturing Technology is a peer-reviewed scientific journal published by Springer Science+Business Media in 18 issues per year. It covers all aspects of advanced manufacturing technology, such as robotics, artificial intelligence (including speech technology), vision and tactile sensing, grippers, programmable controllers, lasers and other advanced ...

FlexSim has been used in a variety of simulation projects involving both standard and flexible manufacturing systems. [6] Some examples include studies to determine optimal buffer sizes, [citation needed] optimizing blend components in feed production, [7] rescheduling problems in mixed-line production planning, [8] optimizing electronics assembly lines, [9] and steel production scheduling.
Smart manufacturing [1] is a broad category of manufacturing that employs computer-integrated manufacturing, high levels of adaptability and rapid design changes, digital information technology, and more flexible technical workforce training. [2]
Reconfigurable Manufacturing System Architecture by Y. Koren. The system is composed of stages: 10, 20, 30, etc. Each stage consists of identical machines, such as CNC milling machines. The system produces one product. The manufactured product moves on the horizontal conveyor. Then Gantry-10 grips the product and brings it to one of CNC-10.
Agile Manufacturing is a modern production approach that enables companies to respond swiftly and flexibly to market changes while maintaining quality and cost control. This methodology is designed to create systems that can adapt dynamically to changing customer demands and external factors such as market trends or supply chain disruptions.
