A flexible manufacturing system (FMS) allows for rapid and efficient changes in production by using computer-controlled machines that can be quickly reprogrammed to produce different parts or products. A just-in-time approach focuses on reducing inventory and only producing what is needed when it is needed. Computer-integrated manufacturing (CIM) is a broader concept that refers to the integration of various manufacturing technologies, but may not necessarily result in rapid changeovers. Streamlined processes can improve efficiency but may not necessarily allow for rapid changes in production.
