Abstract

In manufacturing systems there are two types of flexibilities, one in machines and
other in routing. To get maximum output, manufacturer utilizes its best recourses
even under uncertain environment. Fuzzy logic is a tool which easily handles
uncertainties. This article describes basics of fuzzy set, fuzzy membership, and
fuzzy rule base system and defuzzification. It also covers different aspects of fuzzy
manufacturing system (FMS) and some standard fuzzy logic applications in FMS.
Limitations of fuzzy modeling in flexible manufacturing system are also discussed.
All discussed method can be further modified for individual problems. Future
researchers can consider different aspects of fuzzy logic in flexible manufacturing
system to handle more complex problems.
