Abstract
By means of two case studies, regarding large-scale series production and small-scale series production, the reliability and the productivity of flexible manufacturing systems are tested in an industrial environment. Furthermore the operational behaviour of a flexible manufacturing system (FMS) as compared to stand-alone configurations is investigated.
