Abstract
With the advent of the 4th industrial revolution, manufacturing companies are facing unpredictable market changes such as sharp fluctuations in product demand and frequent launches of new products. In order to respond to this changes, order-based manufacturing companies are striving to make the manufacturing system reconfigurable and flexible. Traditional manufacturing systems are required to replace main equipment and reorganize production lines when a new product is to be released, and it incurs cost and time to produce the dedicated tools for new products. Therefore, it is necessary to fabricate a flexible jig tool that can be quickly reconfigured to cope with various products in different shapes. In this paper, as a part of constructing a reconfigurable and flexible assembly of smart factory, the flexible jig which can be applied universally to the production of various vehicle door trims in different shapes is proposed. Also, on a trial basis, it is applied to the reconfigurable and flexible assembly lines of smart factory for verifying the responsiveness of the reconfigurable jig tools to product changes.
