Abstract

In order to response to the changing market and overcome the disadvantage of the traditional assembly line, based on decomposition of a product family into several so-called functional objects, a common organizational structure for reconfigurable assembly system is proposed, which consists of truck line and assembly modules. This self-similar organizational structure has many advanced characters such as capacity flexibility, robustness, scalability and so on. Using CPM/PERT, a scalability algorithm is proposed and a scheduling approach is also available to realize robustness of the assembly system
