Abstract

The efficiency of manufacturing processes can be increased if modular products are designed to be easily configured during assembly. This paper describes an approach that attempts to define a modular architecture in order to improve assembly by producing the product assembly sequence during the design phase. It optimizes the design-for-assembly approach by considering the role of different flows in the modular product structure. A case study demonstrates the approach.
