Abstract: | In the present investigation, we develop queueing model for the performance prediction of flexible manufacturing systems (FMSs) with a multiple discrete material-handling devices (MHD). An iterative method has been suggested using mean value analysis (MVA) for the state-dependent routing. Two queueing network models are considered to determine the material-handling device interference. In the first one, we model the interference from the MHD by inflating the station service times but neglect queueing at the MHD. In another network, the queueing for the MHD is taken into consideration. The performance of FMS configuration is obtained by iterating between two networks. The suggested algorithms demonstrate better results than the algorithm used by earlier workers for single MHD. Some performance indices viz. throughput, mean service time, mean waiting time, etc. are obtained. Numerical results are provided to highlight the effect of the system parameters on performance indices, which are further evaluated by using neuro-fuzzy controller system to validate the tactability of soft computing approach. |
