Abstract
We propose a new manufacturing system for agile manufacturing. It is necessary for an agile manufacturing system to produce a large amount and many kinds of products with high reliability. We propose a new configuration of manufacturing system, which attains the high flexibility for the high volume production. The system, named High Volume Flexible Manufacturing System (HV-FMS), consists of machining centers arranged in a serial and parallel manner. It is also expected to ensure high productivity for the case of machine troubles. Simulation studies are performed to demonstrate the feasibility and the effectiveness of the proposed system.
