Abstract

Selecting an appropriate FMS requires consideration of many factors for successful implementation and operation. Primary factors are the system's flexibility, lifecycle cost, and competitive ability over time. This paper proposes a quantitative measure for comparing alternative FMS designs with respect to these three criteria. The model captures the effect of these three factors in a single measure.
