Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A flexible manufacturing system (FMS) involves an automated work cell, usually consisting of CNC machines, that is controlled by electronic signals from a central computer system. FMSs are known for their ability to produce a high variety of parts in a efficient and flexible manner. The other options (adaptive control system, robotics, automatic guided vehicle (AGV) system, and manufacturing cell) do not specifically describe a system controlled by a centralized computer facility.
