Abstract
This paper is concerned with the evaluation of combined dispatching and routeing strategies on the performance of a flexible manufacturing system. Three routeing policies: no alternative routeings, alternative routeings dynamic and alternative routeings planned are considered with four dispatching rules with finite buffer capacity. In addition, the effect of changing part mix ratios is also discussed. The performance measures considered are makespan, average machine utilization, average flow time and average delay at local input buffers. Simulation results indicate that the alternative routeings dynamic policy gives the best results in three performance measures except for average delay at local input buffers. Further, the effect of changing part mix ratios is not significant.
