In the paper, flexible manufacturing cell (FMC) system is considered, being an elementary component of FMSs. The authors analyze and evaluate the average performance measures of the FMC model where the first storage is of finite capacity and the second storage is of infinite capacity. They propose a mathematical model and apply queueing theory to get the average waiting time and buffer occupancy of the FMC model.
