Abstract
The increasing variety of products complicates the mixed-model assembly process and affected the mixed-model assembly system in terms of product quality and productivity. Choice complexity comes from the process of making choices for various assembly operations due to the product variety and impacts production rate which is the performance measure of the system. The choice complexity is measured with information entropy, and the relational expression between choice complexity and error rate is analyzed by means of those research finds on average reaction time and speed-accuracy trade-off. The main achievement of our study is establishing an artificial neural network meta-model for the impact of choice complexity on production rate. The meta-model performs better than a multiple linear regression meta-model in terms of experiment results and appears to be the optimal model of the impact of choice complexity on production rate in the mixed-model assembly system.
