Abstract

The authors discuss the multidimensional character of flexibility in flexible manufacturing systems (FMS) and suggest several major flexibility types which are intended to cope with changes occurring at different time horizons. They also describe a Petri-net modeling approach to system evaluation. Failures and changeover interruptions representing changes that the system has to cope with are illustrated through Petri-net modular structures.
