Popis: | Manufacturing firms are facing the challenge of minimizing variety-induced complexity in assembly systems. One of the effective approaches to complexity management is to reconfigure the assembly system by rearranging its assembly sequence. In order to rearrange an assembly sequence, a design-oriented approach is necessary because assembly is an activity of connecting parts through an interface between them. It means that the assembly sequence in production is restricted by the structure of interface connections in design. In this vein, this paper introduces a new design-oriented approach called interface design approach to complexity management in assembly systems. First, the mechanism of how the structure of interface connections affects assembly system complexity is identified. Then, an interface design framework is proposed for effectively finding an optimal interface structure and its assembly sequence to minimize assembly system complexity. For evaluating the complexity, the operator choice complexity index is adopted and modified for the interface design problem. In the case study, the framework is applied to the interface design problem by using industrial data of a plasma display panel (PDP) family from LG Electronics. The result of the study demonstrates that the assembly system complexity is significantly reduced by the proposed interface design framework. |
