碩士 === 國立雲林科技大學 === 工業工程與管理研究所碩士班 === 95 === The material handling system ( MHS ) is the most complex component of an advanced flexible manufacturing system ( FMS ). It utilizes various functions and resource to regulate the part movement from one work-center to another. The material handling action occupies most of the production action, therefore the practice and theory of MHS possess decisive influence in the production management and operating cost. We apply simulation software to build up an flexible manufacturing system and adopt the response surface methodology ( RSM ). It can help us to realize the full potential design, schedule and control in AGV system. In this research, we consider two different objectives: Average throughput and Average AGV utility rate. System parameters of AGV amount, AGV speed, AGV dispatching rule, batch and machine dispatching rule were considered. We combine average throughput with average AGV utility rate to from a single desirability function to find optimal parameters of system.
