Abstract

The trend towards product differentiation in the automotive industry increases the complexity in its assembly and logistics. Hence, more flexible systems are required and already in development. Based on the requirements of a modular assembly system, an adapted production logistics concept with decentralized logistics areas at each workstation is described in this paper. The modular system without a fixed sequence of products is enabled by five types of material supply differentiated in the integrated logistics concept. As a result, an effective assembly of present and future automobiles can be ensured despite their variety.
