Abstract: | The interaction between dispatching and next station selection rules in a FMS is investigated. The FMS contains 16 workstations with local buffers, 9 load/unload stations, and produces 6 different part types. A simulation model is used, and analysed as a steady state model. Flowtime is taken as the main criterion. It is found that WINQ performs significantly better than the other next station selection rules considered across all dispatching rules, with few significant differences between dispatching rules when combined with WINQ. |
