Abstract

This paper aims to develop Flexible Integrated Manufacturing (FIM) as an ultimate manufacturing system for future manufacturing perspectives. In the long term, it can ensure the fulfilment of social requirements while providing superior performance and thriving in an integrated autonomous cellular manufacturing system. Socially responsible manufacturing guarantees better productivity and competitiveness via the self-directed efforts of shop floor workers, as well as environmentally safe manufacturing processes by taking resource-saving and recycling-conscious manufacturing into account. A global view of manufacturing can be gained via alliances which can be initiated quickly and with minimal resources. Moreover, human-enriching cooperative manufacturing will be capable of being developed through team-based cooperative planning between production and marketing activities.
