A flexible manufacturing system (FMS) is a system that uses computer-controlled machines and automated material handling systems to produce a wide variety of goods in a flexible and efficient manner. In this case, We Create Inc. uses robots linked to computers to control the entire production process, which is characteristic of an FMS.
