Outline of a Methodic Realization of Construction Kits for Changeable Production Systems

Abstract

Part 1: Knowledge-Based Performance ImprovementInternational audienceThis paper outlines a method to structure a construction kit system for assembly and manufacturing systems in a way, that a realised system from those building blocks fulfils the requirement of ease in reconfiguration considering specified change criteria (i.e. variants, capacity) at an adequate degree. An overview regarding the major engineering domains and applicable literature is given. The basic flow in this method is given and important steps described. This paper finishes with describing further steps for finalizing the method
