Answering the question, in flexible manufacturing, machines are designed to do multiple tasks so that they can produce a variety of products.

A flexible manufacturing system (FMS) refers to a production technique that is developed to easily adjust to changes in the amount and types of product that is being manufactured

<h2>Further Explanation</h2>

It is an automated machine cell that is made up of different categories of processing workstations which are linked together with automated materials handling and storage.

A flexible manufacturing system can have a positive impact on production; it can also reduce a company's cost of production. A flexible manufacturing system can also be a major part of a build-to-order strategy whereby consumers can request to customize the product they desire.

This production method can be very expensive, buying and setting up the equipment that will perform such task will attract a higher upfront cost.

Also, humans are required to effectively control the operation of the flexible manufacturing system.

Some of the functions mainly performed by humans in this production method include

Replacing and settings the tools in the system
Offloading the finish parts from the manufacturing system
Placing the raw work parts into the manufacturing system and many more

The idea behind a flexible manufacturing system was developed by Jerome H. Lemelson.
