Abstract
The use of computers in manufacturing has proven to be an effective approach to increase the productivity and to control the manufacturing related costs. Since 1960, computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing have been the subject of discussion in many engineering and trade publications. Due to the initiation of links between computer-aided design and manufacturing, the manufacturing firms have been able to develop a new and sophisticated manufacturing philosophy which is called flexible manufacturing systems (FMSs).
