The study on production performances of part transporter in flexible manufacturing system by using simulation method

Material handling is one of major components in Flexible Manufacturing System (FMS). Any improvement of material handling capability is to affect the performance of the whole system. This paper discusses the simulation study on the effect of part arrival rate and dispatching rules to the average...
