heal.abstract	The integration of metal forming and metal removal operations in a single flexible manufacturing cell will advance further the area of application of the flexible manufacturing system and will contribute to the flexible automation of traditionally high volume applications. Forming operations will first be employed to achieve a near net shape of the components, so that only a minimum of subsequent machining operations will be required to manufacture the final forms. The efficient use of these systems depends considerably on the proper design of the system. A simulation model written in the PASCAL language is presented, capable of simulating a mixed type FMC. With the aid of this model the effect of the batch size and the carrying capacity of the pallets on utilisation of the machine tool and the throughput times of the orders is examined. © 1992 Springer-Verlag London Limited.	en
