A study to seek the possibility to implement Flexible Manufacturing System (FMS) in a small local plastic company / Mohamad Junid Omar and Ahmad Fareed Azman Lingam

Our project is about Flexible Manufacturing System. Flexible Manufacturing System is a method of production system to achieve flexibility in manufacturing process, which can increase productivity, quality and coincide the lead-time of the process. We are excited to know much more about Flexible Manufacturing System. Beside that, we also want to study the process sequence of a product by using plastic injection moulding process. Therefore we have made an industrial visit to a company, USRA TAMPI Sdn. Bhd. lots of information we got during the visit especially about the production system, process flow of injection moulding process, layout of production and types of product were produced. In assisting our research we used a set of questionnaires. This questionnaire used to seek the possibility to implement Flexible Manufacturing System (FMS) in the company. Beside that, we also do desk research about production system. By the research we got more information and knowledge about Flexible Manufacturing System.
