Abstract

A strongly interactive software package is being developed to guide an engineer through the design of an assembly system. Four main parts can be distinguished: - An economical screening to determine which assembly method is likely to be most economical. - A technical analysis of the product, based on Boothroyd's “Design for Assembly”, in which feeding, gripping and insertion of each component is considered. - Task assignment and line balancing. - Computer aided layout of the assembly system (future).
