Abstract
The increasing diversity and dynamics in the automotive market require more flexible and changeable automotive assembly configurations. However, when dealing with alternative assembly concepts, the methods for planning and operating an automotive assembly as well as the used information have to be adapted. A modular assembly system with uncoupled workstations and a flexible flow of products through the system, e.g. requires an assembly priority chart to plan and control the cyber-physical assembly system. In this paper, the different types and characteristics of the required assembly priority charts and their usage for planning and controlling a modular assembly system are described as well as the methods to generate them. Moreover, the assembly priority charts from a case study of a German automotive subassembly are shown and discussed. By this, the required level of flexibility and changeability of future automotive assembly systems can be enabled.
