Abstract: This paper attempts to the problem of predicting and controlling the performance of Flexible Manufacturing System (FMS). The FMS operations comprising of Pallet station, Machining Centers and Unloading station with an Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV) system are simulated under a dynamic environment. The dynamism in the system is created by assuming stochastic arrival rate for parts, uniform processing times at machining centers, AGVs for handling materials. This environment is simulated using ARENA 10.0. The results of a hypothetical FMS simulation are utilized as inputs and output parameters such as AGV utilization and Resource utilization and multivariate analysis were conducted and establishing the control limits for performance measures. The results indicate a significant relationship between the global decision rules and the output indicators.
