A mass production system was implemented to reduce a manufacturing cost in a way of copying with a strong world market competition. However customer's demands are changing so rapidly and the mass production system is no longer competitive to meet the demands. FMS(Flexible Manufacturing System) has been introduced as a replacement for the mass production system, but it still does not meet system's requirements. A new manufacturing system, called a holonic manufacturing system (HMS), is emerging. This paper is giving a first approach of a HMS for a multirobot cooperative process.

The purpose of this paper is to describe an effective cell scheduling system for flexible manufacturing cells. Based on the FMC characteristics, cell scheduling can be defined as a dynamic modified flow shop working in a real-time system. This paper attempt to find the optimal cell scheduling when minimizing the mean flow time for n-job/m-machine problems in static and dynamic environments. Real-time scheduling in an FMC environment requires rapid computation of the schedule.

This study addresses the problem of flexible technology acquisition in a multi-product market when demands are uncertain. We confine the concept of flexibility to the ability of manufacturing system to produce a number of different types of products, called a product-mix flexibility type. And an analytical model in which the economies of scope are incorporated explicitly as a feature of flexible technology is presented to find the optimal investment decision to acquire flexible technology and optimal production planning. The characteristics of optimal investment strategy related to capacity and production planning are discussed.

A design issue for a flexible manufacturing system is to find the number of each resource type which assures a given production ratio with a minimal cost. The FMS is modeled as a closed queueing network with a local buffer of limited capacity. An efficient method to determine this optical configuration is presented. The proposed method consists of three steps : 1) determine a lower configuration, 2) derive a heuristic solution, 3) find the optimal solution. The derived heuristic solutions are close to the optical solution.

This paper intends to develope the multi-objective loading model in a flexible manufacturing system (FMS) to support decision maker under fuzzy environment. To obtain the optimal solution, this paper uses interactive fuzzy multi-objective linear programing(IFMOLP) and describes the process of optimal solution. As a case study, numerical examples are demonstrated to show the effectiveness of the proposed model.

The problems concerning FMC (Flexible manufacturing cell) system layout were treated in this paper. In fact, there being no clear definition about FMS (Flexible manufacturing system), it could be treated as the system adopting flexible-automation and FMS has been improving as a form of parts machining system. It was thought that the problems of combination of machine tool groups and parts family were important. Parts familly and machine tool groups were made up by means of multivariate analysis and the minimum trnsfer concept using correlation coefficient ($\rho$). And FMC system was layout by directional graph according to the FMS classifications.

Increased complexity of products and their manufacturing processing demans higher quality control and monitoring than ever before. Therefore, flexible automatization or flexible manufacturing systems (FMS) offer numerous advantages over alternative manufacturing methods. In this state, a in-process monitoring is one of the important flexible automation system. And as use of NC and CNC machine tool has been increasing, cutting work has automating and it is necessary to develop the automatic production system combined a couple of machine tool. Thus, in this paper to search examination it can measure the tool wear and the tool life and can be more practical research subject.

Many firms have applied flexible manufacturing systems as a means of increasing productivity, profitability, and quality. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to develop the more efficient justification model through an analytical scoring model with the quantitative factors, flexibility factors, and safety factors under uncertainty. In this paper, the three factors for properly comparing and evaluating of flexible manufacturing systems are presented. Especially, this paper has emphasized the flexibility and safety factor; the one consists of organization assessment, process treatment function, products and products quantity, useful life assesment, and software function, the other presents risk assesment, Y2K problem, safety device analysis, total productive management system, safety management. Finally, a normalized scoring model by the new flexibility and safety factors can be used in real fields for flexible manufacturing systems project selection under uncertainty.

An UV/thermal hybrid nanoimprint lithography system was designed and implemented for the pattern transfer to flexible substrates. This system can utilize a plate stamp, roll stamp, and film stamp. For all cases of using those stamps, this system is also switchable an UV or thermal nanoimprint lithography mode. This paper shows how to design the heating and UV curing plates and proposes how to change them easily. Because the pressure condition and the speed of the press roller varies by the characteristics of the stamp and substrate, all the parameters related to the nanoimprint lithography have to adjustable. Some transferred patterns are shown in this paper to verify the performance of the hybrid nanoimprint lithography system. The flexible substrates with nano-scale patterns on them will be key components for next generation technologies such as flexible displays, bendable semi-conductors, and solar cells.
