Systematization of Evaluating FMS and Quantitative Evaluation of Its Flexibility

随着柔性制造系统（FMS）技术的发展，柔性制造系统的评价变得越来越重要。目前采用的FMS评价方法是基于经济论证的；但是，应该对其进行改进，使系统的灵活性能够同时得到评价。目前，有必要建立系统柔性的定义和评价方法，以便对FMS进行合理的评价。然而，FMS的评价方法也远未完善。因此，在本研究中，我们探讨了以下具体问题，以建立FMS的评价方法。1、对目前提出的FMS评价方法的调查和系统化。柔性层次结构的定义及其评价概念的思考。从层次化角度建立FMS的合理评价方法。3. 基于系统机性能评估的FMS仿真器的开发。4. 基于工艺规划模拟器的FMS性能评价。5. 6.机械车间信息网络评估理念与试验系统开发。未来计算机集成制造系统评价方法研究。综上所述，我们获得了有效的结果，为建立下一代FMS的评价方法提供了依据。

Evaluation of Flexible Manufacturing System ( FMS ) becomes very important along with the advancement of FMS technology. The evaluation method employed so far for FMS is based on the economical justification; however, It should be improved so as to enable the system flexibility to be simultaneously evaluated.At present, the necessity is to establish the definition and evaluation method of the system flexibility in order that the FMS can be reasonably assessed. However, the evaluation method of an FMS is also far from completion.Thus, in this research we investigated the following concrete topics to establish the evaluation method of an FMS. 1, Investigations and their systematization of the evaluation method of FMS so far proposed. Definition of hierarchical structure of Flexibility and considerations of its evaluation concept. Establishment of rational evaluation method of an FMS from the hierarchical point of view. 3. Development of an FMS simulator based on the performance evaluation of the system machines. 4. Performance evaluation of an FMS by process planning simulator. 5. Evaluation concept and development of a trial system for evaluating information network in a machine shop, 6. Research on the evaluation method of future Computer Integrated Manufacturing System.In conclusion, we obtained the effective results to establish the evaluation method of an FMS of the next generation.
