Abstract
Nowadays, assembly lines are widely used for the production of goods. Due to shorter life cycles and increasing variance of products to be manufactured, assembly systems have to be (re)configured more frequently. This paper presents a concept to automatically generate drafts of complete assembly lines. Basis for the planning approach is a library of available resources and a digital product model. An algorithm selects, combines and arranges suitable resources. The planning decisions are heuristically optimized and verified by simulation. Copyright Springer-VDI-Verlag GmbH & Co. KG, Düsseldorf.
