The evolution of manufacturing can be represented graphically as a continuum as shown in Fig. 3-2. As this figure shows, manufacturing processes and systems are in a state of transition from manual operation to the eventual realization of fully integrated manufacturing. The step preceding computer-integrated manufacturing is called flexible manufacturing. 3.2.1 Flexible Manufacturing System Defined
