Cellular Manufacturing and Fms (Flexible / Lean Manufacturing Systems) (29 Parts)

Synopsis

Outlines the design, modelling and implementation issues of flexible manufacturing cells and systems (FMS) in compter integrated manufacture (CIM). The presenter and various industrial contributors illustrate how companies can apply FMS and CIM technologies and the way FMS cells and systems are designed, operated and integrated into CIM systems. As the industrial examples show, this enables companies to produce high-quality goods at a low price, to cut waste and lead time and to be competitive in an advanced manufacturing world.
