Abstract:
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. The scope of this research includes identification of various variable of FMS on which the productivity and performance of the system depends. Two methods namely questionnaire method and Interpretive Structural Modelling technique are used to calculate the relative importance of these variables and their dependency on each other. The data used to rank these factors are obtained from survey of faculty members and industry professionals. Contextual relationship among these variables has been set after carrying out brainstorming sessions.
