Abstract

A method for the design of flexible assembly systems is presented. The approach involves two stages: the systematic determination of all the valid assembly plans and then, for each one, the determination of all the corresponding assembly systems. Each valid assembly plan is described by an assembly graph. All the valid partitions of this graph are provided. Each partition defines the structure of an admissible assembly system and each subgraph in each partition defines a workstation for the corresponding assembly system. A recursive algorithm is presented. It produces the admissible workstations. The method avoids the difficulties inherent in precedence graphs. >
