Abstract:In a demand context of mass customisation, Industry 4.0 technologies open new possibilities of increased productivity and flexibility for mixed-model assembly lines. Analytical and parametric analysis is used to better understand the productivity losses of model changeovers as a preliminary step to develop an Assembly 4.0 implementation methodology.
