“…[8] Arshad Milana and Khurshid discuseed the effect of scheduling rules for three layouts and five machines modeled in ARENA and proved the effect of the FMS layouts was marginal in case of in-line and double-line FMS compared to performance of loop layout conveyed the scheduling rules effect as higher.

This paper introduces scheduling of parts in Flexible Manufacturing System (FMS) environment by means of discrete-event simulation method. Modeling of FMS layout with 3 distinct part type, route and interval for each part is developed using Arena simulation. The ranking criterion is considered only for First-in-first-out (FIFO). Automatic Guided Vehicles (AGV) is used as a Material Handling System (MTH). In this paper a case study has been presented for effective utilization of machines and AGV in given FMS. Based on processing time for variety of parts according to their route priority the jobs are scheduled. The scheduling of the considered layout are evaluated and compared to 6 output measures which are avg. work in process (WIP), avg. queue time, avg. number of parts waiting, resource seized, machine instantaneous utilization and scheduled utilization for different replication length. The simulation outcomes are discussed in detail and conclusion has been drawn for various mentioned output measures.

“…In this regard, Wu et al (1993) proposed a multi-criteria rescheduling approach. The selection of appropriate scheduling rules for FMS by simulation method has been discussed in detailed by Lashkari et al (1991). Knowledge based scheduling approaches also play a major role in selecting a suitable rescheduling policy that has been discussed by some researchers.…”
