Mathematical Model for Traffic Optimization in Flexible Manufacturing Systems

Abstract

The paper presents a suggested complex of mathematical models for searching for the traffic structure in flexible manufacturing systems. It shows that the usage of the elaborated models allows increasing significantly the efficiency of the manufacturing systems. This paper offers the methodology of searching for a rational AMS traffic structure. The basis of the developed methodology is the combined method, which combines imitating and analytical modelling. The effectiveness of the offered approach is shown by the example of traffic optimization in the automatized flexible assembly system. The methodology offered in the paper allows considering the influence of incidental factors on the AMS functioning process.
