| Abstract | In this study, the justification methodology for flexible manufacturing system is
proposed. The procedure combines the two sequential procedures, i.e. tactical and
strategic justification. Tactical justification includes both technical and economic
considerations. The Net Present Value (NPV) method is advocated as the tool for
the tactical justification. Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) method is
recommended for the final strategic justification because of its intuitive appeal, the
robust methodology underlying its measurement theory, its ease of use and ability
to structure any multi-person, multi-dimensional problem. A case study is carried
out on Engineering Products Company (EPC). Three products are finally
selected for the justification to FMS. By the nature of the production requirement
of these product dedicated flexible manufacturing system cells are chosen in
justification. |
