Mr. Ghoniya Mubassir completed his term work and this certificate verifies satisfactory completion. The document then discusses flexible manufacturing systems (FMS), which allow flexibility to adapt to changes. It describes five common FMS layout types: progressive/line type, loop type, ladder type, open field type, and robot centered type. Each layout type has different characteristics regarding part flow and flexibility. Applications of FMS include machining, forming, assembly, joining, surface treatment, inspection, and testing. Advantages are economic and productivity benefits while disadvantages include limited adaptability and technical challenges.

3. • WHAT IS F.M.S
• A 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. This flexibility is generally
considered to fall into two categories, which
both contain numerous subcategories.
4. • TYPES OF F.M.S LAYOUT
1. PROGRESSIVE OR LINE TYPE
2. LOOP TYPE
3. LADDER TYPE
4. OPEN FIELD TYPE
5. ROBOT CENTERED TYPE
6. • The machines and handling system are arranged in a
line.
• It is most appropriate for a system in which the part
progress from one workstation to the next in a well-
defined sequence with no back flow.
• The operation of this type of system is very similar to
transfer type.
• Work always flows in unidirectional path as shown in
Figure.
• Straight line flow, well-defined processing sequence
similar for all work units
• Work flow is from left to right through the same
workstations
C
7. • No secondary handling system
• Linear transfer system with secondary parts handling
system at each workstation to facilitate flow in two
directions
9. • The parts usually move in one direction around the
loop, with the capability to stop and be transferred
to any station.
• The loading and unloading stations are typically
located at one end of the loop.
• One direction flow, but variations in processing
sequence possible for different part types.
• Secondary handling system at each workstation.
• Parts can skip stations for flexibility
• Used for large part sizes
• Best for long process times
11. • The configuration is as shown in Figure. The loading
and unloading station is typically located at the same
end.
• The sequence to the operation/transfer of parts from
one machine tool to another is in the form of ladder
steps.
• Loop with rungs to allow greater variation in
processing sequence
• Parts can be sent to any machine in any sequence
• Parts not limited to particular part families
13. • The open field layout is also an adoption of the loop
configuration.
• The open field layout consists of loops and ladders
organized to achieve the desired processing
requirements. This is used for the processing of a
large family of parts. The number of different
machines may be limited, and the parts are routed to
different workstations depending on availability of
machines.
• A possible arrangement of this layout is shown in fig
15. • If a handling robot is used in a Flexible
manufacturing system cell , the machines are laid
out in a circle, such a layout is called circular layout.
• A possible arrangement of this layout is shown in
fig.
17. • ADVANTAGE
1. ECONOMIC ADVANTAGE
• Reduced direct labor requirements
• Fewer machines required
• Operating time
2. PRODUCTIVE ADVANTAGE
• Increased machine utilization
• Reduction in factory floor space
• Higher labor productivity
• Unattended production and reduced manpower
needs
18. • DISADVANTAGE
• Limited ability to adapt to changes in product or
product mix.
• Substantial pre-planning activity.
• Expensive, costing millions of dollars.
• Technological problems of exact component
positioning and precise timing necessary to process a
component.
• Sophisticated manufacturing systems.
