Thesis ; no. ISE-96-02 A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Engineering, School of Advanced Technologies Thesis (M. Eng.) - Asian Institute of Technology, 1996 In this study, simultaneous effect of commonality and flexibility in a manufacturing system is discussed. The manufacturing system selected for this is a two-product, two-level system. First level involves the machining of four different components whereas the second level involves the assembly operation of two end products from these four parts. Simulation software SIMPLE ++ is used to develop the model of the existing system. To apply commonality and flexibility in that system, different possible models are developed by varying the machine arrangement and processing time. Three performance measures, namely, makespan, average machine utilization and factor productivity, have been used to compare the different models with only commonality, only flexibility and both commonality and flexibility and the existing system. Maximum allowable processing times of the common component for different machine arrangements with respect to that of the replaced unique components are determined to help decision making regarding the introduction of commonality and flexibility to the existing system.
