While in order to reduce expensive simulation experiments with the Taguchi design, the TOPSIS procedure is used to combine the multiple FMS responses (performance measures) into a single response in the optimization processes. Thus, TOPSIS carries out an important role to build a surrogate objective function that represents multiple responses of the system. The integrated approach finds a new design considering discrete factors (physical and operational parameters) which affect the performance measures of FMS. Optimal design configuration is obtained for the considered system with improved performance.enginfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessFLEXIBILITYDESIGNconferenceObject214721550003892482020562-s2.0-84940501734
