Exploration of the optimal modularity in assembly line design.

ABSTRACT: It is widely accepted that a proper structural modularity degree of assembly processes in terms of mass customization has a positive effect on their efficiency because it, among other things, increases manufacturing flexibility and productivity. On the other hand, most practical approaches to identify such a degree is rather based on intuition or analytical reasoning than on scientific foundations. However, the first way can be used for simple assembly tasks, but in more complex assembly processes, this method lags behind the second. The purpose was to create a methodology for selection of optimal modular assembly model from among a predefined set of alternatives. The methodology is based on exploration of the relations between modularity measures and complexity issues as well as the relat
