Abstract: The planning of FMS is a very complicated system project, and its final quality is affected by a lot of factors. Hence, a systematic and comprehensive evaluation model established for the FMS planning is necessary. A comprehensive evaluation model based on the hierarchy analysis is proposed, through which planned schemes of the FMS can be analyzed, evaluated, compared and demonstrated at multiple levels with the fuzzy analysis, and the best one can be selected to guide the implementation and ensure the performance of the FMS.

Key words: Comprehensive evaluation, Flexible manufacturing system Planning, Hierarchy analysis Fuzzy analysis
