ENDOGENOUS FLEXIBILITY IN THE FLEXIBLE MANUFACTURING SYSTEM
Bulletin of Economic Research, 2012ABSTRACTWe investigate the flexible manufacturing system (FMS) by using the spatial price discrimination framework of Pal. The degree of flexibility when producing variants can be increased by increasing the investment or production cost and is endogenously determined.

Flexible manufacturing systems require flexible people*
Human Systems Management, 1986This article draws on findings from a recent study of the procurement of Flexible Machining Systems (FMS). Based on intensive fieldwork in eight companies, and corroborating data from numerous other sites, the paper emphasizes the interaction between FMS technology and the people who plan and operate it.

International Journal of Operations & Production Management, 1999
Just‐in‐time (JIT) systems were originally designed for deterministic production environments such as constant processing times and smooth and stable demand. However, once implemented, JIT is fraught with numerous types of uncertainties, including variations in processing time and demand, planned interruptions such as preventive maintenance and ...

The electricity system of Great Britain is becoming increasingly decentralised, with more complex patterns of power production, transportation and consumption. New types of 'flexibility' are being developed to facilitate and manage these changes. This POSTnote reviews ways of developing flexibility, as well as technical and economic barriers to doing ...

In Chapter 1 the relationship between fixtures and manufacturing system flexibility was explained. Flexibility in manufacturing systems was discussed in terms of flexibility in scheduling (short-term flexibility), and flexibility in re-configuring the system to accept a not previously manufactured workpiece (reconfigurability or long term flexibility).

Flexible Manufacturing Systems
2003A manufacturing system involves manufacturing activity which, as defined in [VN92], is “the transformation process by which raw material, labour, energy and equipment are brought together to produce high-quality goods”. A manufacturing system is composed of two main subsystems: The physical subsystem, composed of the physical resources (hardware ...
