During the last decade manufacturing has again become a prime area of interest. New concepts have emerged, one of which is ‘Flexible Manufacturing Systems.’ This contribution presents an approach to control the releasing of parts into these systems and the scheduling of parts and tools in flexible manufacturing systems. The approach bases primarily on fuzzy linear programming and on approximate reasoning. By using simulation the superiority of these approaches over known priority rule scheduling is demonstrated.
