Description
Summary:In today’s competitive market, the life cycle of products is shrinking while product variety is growing. The product mix in small batches contributes to manufacturing uncertainty. Meanwhile, ever-growing business globalization and outsourcing also influence manufacturing. In such a dynamic environment, adaptability is of great importance. It is essential to develop a system that enables not only adaptive decision making, but also effective decision execution. Targeting manufacturing uncertainty, this paper reports a new framework and methodology for adaptive assembly planning using function blocks, which can be used directly for assembly control.
