The authors formulate the problem and propose a new heuristic method for determining the number of pallets of each type of component parts produced in FMS. The proposed method uses the Scheweitzer’s mean value analysis algorithm of which robustness and fitness for this problem is shown through simulation experiments. This method finds a better solution more efficiently than Solot’s PANORAMA, which is a well-known method to determine the number of pallets in FMS. [In Korean.]
