Abstract
A grey fuzzy synthetically evaluation method was presented for the reconfigurable manufacturing system (RMS) layout planning decision making problem. Based on analyzing the factors which affected the performance of the RMS, a hierarchy synthetically evaluation indicator system was proposed firstly. Then, a simulation model was constructed by commercial simulation software eM-Plant, by which the data of quantitative indices was got; the data of qualitative indices was obtained from expert grade method. Based on those data, grey relational analysis method was used to calculate the weight of indicators. Finally, fuzzy synthetically evaluation method was introduced to evaluate the layout schemes for RMS. Taking a job-shop floor as an example, the experimental results indicate that the grey fuzzy synthetically evaluation method is a more effective method for RMS layout planning decision making problem.
