| Summary |
Flexible Manufacturing Systems (FMS) involve substituting machines capable of performing a wide and redefinable variety of tasks for machines dedicated to the performance of specific tasks. FMS can also be programmed to handle new products, thus extending the machines' life cycles. Thus they represent a change from "standardized goods produced by customized machines" to "customized goods produced by standardized machines". This volume contains new and updated material in this field, and will be of great interest to researchers, managers and students concerned with problems related to flexible manufacturing systems. |
| Note |
"This volume contains new and updated material from Flexible manufacturing: recent developments in FMS, robotics, CAD/CAM, CIM which was a selection of papers presented at the VIIth International Conference on Production Research, held in Windsor, Ontario during 1983"--Preface |
