ABSTRACTFlexibility ABSTRACT Flexibility is the ability that manufacturing system produces different kinds of parts or products by adjusting production resources to cope with changes in the extemal and intemal environment．With the diversification of customer demand and the increasing complexity of the production environment，more and more enterprises invest in manufacturing flexibility to obtain and maintain competitive advantage in the rapidly changing environment．Thus，measure flexibility benefitS and choose an optimal flexibility structure to guide managers’flexibility investment decisions have an important significance，both theoretically and praeticaUy．Based on analyzing and summarizing researches on flexibility measurement and flexibility investment， considering the existence of setup times，this paper mainly investigates the investment issues of total flexibility structure and chaining structure by the analytical method，and further proposes a multi—objective decision-making methods to analysis the flexibility investment in manufacturing systems with arbitrary structure．The rcsuRs Can be used to guide the manufacturing flexibility investment and improvement．The work and contribution in this research Can be divided into two parts as follows． Firstly,the value of total flexibility and chaining structure flexibility is measured analytically．Based on the shift rule of the production resources in flexible manufacturing system，this paper valuates flexibility through the incremental outpm in flexible system compared with the rigid system，as well as analysis flexible investment feasibility．The impacts of flexibility factors(demand fluctuations，setup times and chain length)on flexibility are further investigated．It is found that flexibility benefits are related to the external environment and production environment，which will increase with the magnitude in demand fluctuation and decrease in setup time．For given demand distribution and setup times，the optimal length(i．e
