Abstract

In the current scenario of competitive and highly volatile market conditions, industries relay more on flexibility than on standardization of production. Many researchers have advocated the use of Flexible Manufacturing Systems to meet the challenges of global competition. Despite the potential benefits offered by FMS, their adoption rates are relatively slow, especially in developing countries like India. The conventional manufacturing industries are still reluctant in adopting these newer techniques of manufacturing although today there is much support from government and need for adoption due to cut throat global competition. The main reason for this is the lack of enough literature showing its implementation and stepwise adoption process. There is an utmost need for a generalized procedure showing the implementation process which is suitable for any kind of traditional industry which wants to adopt FMS. In this paper, an attempt has been made to propose a generalized methodology named as ‘LAPTOP’ to evaluate the transition of a conventional manufacturing system into FMS. A case study has been presented to validate the proposed methodology.
