Flexible manufacturing systems for two-stage production may possess a variety of operating flexibilities in the form of tooling capabilities for the machines and alternative routings for each operation. In this paper, we compare the throughput performance of several flexible flow shop designs. We consider two-stage assembly flow shops with
