document: An intelligent fuzzy decision system for a flexible manufacturing system with multi-decision points This paper describes an intelligent fuzzy decision support system for real-time scheduling and dispatching of parts in a flexible manufacturing system -LRB- FMS -RRB- , with alternative routing possibilities for all parts . A fuzzy logic approach is developed to improve the system performance by considering multiple performance measures and at multiple decision points . The characteristics of the system status , instead of parts , are fed back to assign priority to the parts waiting to be processed . A simulation model is developed and it is shown that the proposed intelligent fuzzy decision support system keeps all performance measures at a good level . The proposed intelligent system is a promising tool for dealing with scheduling FMSs , in contrast to traditional rules
