Flexible manufacturing offers producitivity, affordability, and enhanced quality. Yet the far-reaching benefits are by no means automatic. Massive modernization efforts can yield littel net result in productivity improvement and cost reduction without adequate consideration of the specific application. Integrated systems offer the greatest potential for productivity improvement, yet this benefit must be designed into flexible manufacturing system applications to ensure success. New methods must be assessed in terms of production needs. Technology can then be designed into the system in response to the potential costs and benefits of implementation. Integrating and implementing technologies in new flexible systems to meet program needs is proving effective throughout the aerospace industry. This paper descirbes an approach to the successful application of flexible manufacturing system capabilities.
