This work proposes a systematic literature review on manufacturing flexibility that provides a
broad map of the main investigated research issues in manufacturing flexibility and future …

Mixed-model assembly lines are almost never perfectly balanced in industrial practice, nor
can sequencing fully compensate imbalances. A promising approach to achieve both equal …

To increase the manufacturing flexibility, manufacturing organizations are looking at flexible
manufacturing system (FMS) as a viable alternative to enhance their competitive edge …

The flexibility in manufacturing system is required so it is called flexible manufacturing
system (FMS), but in FMS, there is different flexibility, which is incorporated. So, in …

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the factors from the variables of the flexible
manufacturing system (FMS) which affect flexibility in FMS. The study was performed by …

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the intensity of variables of the flexible
manufacturing system (FMS) which affect flexibility in FMS. The study was performed by …

Assembly line balancing usually presupposes binary task-station assignments. Some
authors have previously described efficiency increases due to fractional task allocations or …

Blocking flow shop scheduling problem has been extensively studied in recent years;
however, some applications mentioned for this problem have some additional …

In this paper, we study a new type of flow shop and open shop models, which handle so-
called “pliable” jobs: their total processing times are given, but individual processing times of …

In the last years, energy costs have gained great attention, because of their constant rise
and environmental implications. More researchers have directed their attention towards …
