| Abstract: | This research investigates two maintenance float models in a flexible manufacturing system (FMS). We use classical queueing theory to study the characteristics of the fractional utilization of the system. A mathematical program is constructed to determine the optimal number of floats of an important module used in the FMS and the optimal capacity of the repair station. |
