Summary: Flexible manufacturing systems (FMS) offer wide universal possibilities of manufacturing various products differing from each other by constructional and technical characteristics, as well as by quantities and production dynamics on the same manufacturing system. However, along with increasing demands for system flexibility, due to the increase in production products assortment, manufactured on the same manufacturing system, the impacts on production quality, on the system's productivity, on the amount of financial investments and therefore, on the cost of the product, are getting more complex. At the same time, the manufacturing system control is becoming more complex due to the increase in the number of factors involved in the production process. By investigating the nature of the problem, analysing the single factors impact, especially the strength of their effects on the quality of the total manufacturing system functioning, will result in defining the method of project operation which will enable to choose the optimal relations between important factors such as: flexibility, quality, productivity, economy. The intent is to develop a suitable computer software support (CAPP) for the entire operation of manufacturing systems project.

Keywords: Flexibility, flexible manufacturing system, manufacturing system control, process grouping method, production process optimization

Research goals: The objective of the research is to asses optimal flexibility limits of the manufacturing system, related to the production assortment and its quantities and production dynamics, in order to assure a satisfactory quality, productivity, reliability and economy level of production. The research will enable to identify all the variables determining the relations between important factors of production process (production program, production equipment, transport equipment, information system, space, costs, staff...), then the patterns and values of their impact on the manufacturing systems quality in given production conditions will be assessed, in order to define practically applicable method in frame of the project and the choice of an optimal manufacturing system model for product processing. It is expected, through research implementation, to contribute in establishing of experiences and knowledge that will increase the transfer of world knowledge in the field of manufacturing systems projects. It is estimated that, based on this research, a number of scientific works will be published, at least one doctoral thesis and one master's thesis. A development of software programs for manufacturing systems project is also expected.
