Abstract

The present study proposes a hybrid framework combining multiple methods to determine the optimal values of design variables in a flexible manufacturing system (FMS). The framework uses a multi-objective response surface methodology (RSM) to achieve optimum performance. The performance of an FMS is characterized using various weighted measures using the best–worst method (BWM). Subsequently, an RSM approximates the functional relationship between the FMS performance and design variables. The central composite design (CCD) is used for this aim, and a polynomial regression model is fitted among the factors. Eventually, a bi-objective model, including the fitted and cost functions, is formulated and solved. As a result, the optimal percentage for deploying the FMS equipment and machines to achieve optimal performance with the lowest deployment cost is determined. The proposed framework can serve as a guideline for manufacturing organizations to lead strategic decisions regarding the design problems of FMSs. It significantly increases productivity for the manufacturing system, reduces redundant labor and material handling costs, and facilitates production.
