Abstract

Production planning of a new product starts from the estimation of the production volume per month or per year. The construction of the standardized flexible assembly systems should be designed to satisfy the required cycle time. Because a flexible assembly system consists of several sub-systems such as feeding, transport, assembly and transfer ones, the total cycle time of the whole system depends upon the cycle times and repeating numbers of each operation. In this report the cycle time and the consequent production rate are estimated for typical flexible assembly systems. Each factor affecting the results is discussed
