In order to maximize FMS benefits, it is necessary to consider real-time decision making process, based on updated information about the FMS status. This thesis reports on a simulation study of a sample FMS with integration of two flexibility types: routing flexibility and scheduling flexibility. Integrative framework developed in this thesis integrates process planning module and simulated FMS module through real time data exchange. FMS is simulated in Arena with four different routing decision policies: a) static best, b) static random, c) routing dynamic, and d) feature focused dynamic. Simulation model has been executed on the same data set for four mentioned routing decision policies and for four dispatching policies (FIFO, SPT, SIPT, and LIPT). Results of each simulation run in terms of five performance measures have been compared in order to determine best routing alternative selection policy, corresponding dispatching policy, and identify the best combination of those two policies.
