Abstract
In today's competitive and rapidly evolving manufacturing landscape, companies are increasingly adopting flexible manufacturing systems (FMS) to boost efficiency and productivity. An FMS is an advanced automated system that integrates transport vehicles, automated storage, and a sophisticated computer control system, all designed to swiftly and efficiently produce a diverse range of components. Central to Industry 4.0the fourth industrial revolutionFMS represents a leap towards smart manufacturing through the integration of cutting-edge technologies. A critical aspect of FMS is scheduling optimization, which involves determining the most effective sequence for producing various components and allocating resources efficiently. Effective FMS scheduling optimization is crucial for manufacturers, as it enhances productivity and reduces production costs. By leveraging optimized scheduling, manufacturers can achieve quicker production cycles, higher throughput, and improved quality control. In the context of Industry 4.0, the optimization of FMS scheduling plays a key role. The synergy between advanced technologies and FMS scheduling can transform factories into smarter, more efficient, and highly automated environments. Thus, optimizing FMS scheduling is essential for the success of contemporary manufacturing operations.Keywords: Manufacturing System, FMS, Scheduling ,Optimization.
