Abstract

The Zimbabwean industry is growing again after a number of bad economy years. Flexible Manufacturing System (FMS) is one way to make the industry grow faster by being competitive on a global scale. One manufacturing company is looked at closely and it is clear that FMS would make the company produce products of increasing variety, reduce delivery time, and meet the conventional requirements of quality and competitive costs. This is a reflection of the whole manufacturing industry in the country.
