| Abstract: | this research addresses the problem of selecting the most appropriate Flexible Manufacturing System (FMS) for a manufacturing organization. A unified framework is proposed to facilitate decision making in the design and planning stage. The recommended framework contains three individual modules: An Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), a simulation module, and an accounting procedure. These modules are unified through an efficiency measurement method called Data Envelopment Analysis. |
