| Abstract: | The research investigates two maintenance float models in a flexible manufacturing system (FMS). The authors use classical queueing theory to study the characteristics of the fractional utilization of the system. A mathematical program is constructed to determine the optimal number of floats of an important module used in the FMS and the optimal capacity of the repair station. For future research, the case with multiple types of modules is worth studying. |
