Summary

In this paper a new approach to planning of Flexible Manufacturing Systems (FMSs) is discussed. This approach takes advantage of FMS features and is based on linking of machining and assembling operations. There are two problems embedded in the presented approach: station loading and operation scheduling. A formulation of a station loading problem for a single machining period is presented. Some of the computational results are also discussed.
