  • Abstract
    Most of the studies in flexible manufacturing systems address the issues of flexibility, productivity, cost, etc. The impact of flexible lines on product quality is less studied. This paper presents a quantitative model based on Markov chain analysis to evaluate quality performance of a flexible machining system. A case study of flexible fixture is provided to illustrate the applicability of the method.
