Benefits of FMS

There are a great number of benefits that can be derived from the use of FMS. They are:

1. FMS enables manufacturers to machine a broad variety of workpieces on few machines with low staffing levels, reliably, productively and predictably.

2. FMS shortens the manufacturing procedure through developed operational control, round-the-clock availability of automated equipment, enhanced machine utilisation and responsiveness, and decrease of human intervention.

3. The above advantages translate into lower work in procedure inventories and better competitive advantage.

4. Developed quality and reduced scrap rate.

5. Drop of floor space used.

6. Better status monitor of machines, tools, and material handling devices together with developed response time to demand variations and to design or process change over
