Abstract

Assembly system complexity, especially welding system complexity introduced by auto-body product personalization is regarded as a major contributor of uncertainty in the system planning and designing. The welding system complexity is defined based on information entropy theory, the station-level integrated complexity model, and system-level complexity flow model are established to obtain the complexity source of welding system. Complexity source sensitivity indices are proposed to indentify key station and key equipment that contribute most to the complexity. Based on the application of auto-body side welding line case, the result indicates that the proposed complexity model and key complexity source identifying and diagnosing process can be used as the decision support tool of auto-body welding system.
