abstract = {Increasing product variance as a result of growing
individualization of customer requirements leads to process
time spread and volatility of the product mix in mixed-model
assembly. As a consequence, conventional line assemblies
reach the limits of their economic viability. Dissolving the
coupling and cycle dependency of stations in matrix
assemblies offers the potential to simultaneously improve
flexibility and efficiency while maintaining the flow
principle. Matrix and line assemblies form the flow-oriented
assembly structures in which assembly objects move according
to the flow principle. During structure planning, assembly
planners are increasingly faced with the question of which
configuration of flow-oriented assembly structures meets the
requirements of their use case and how flexibility can be
objectively incorporated as a decision criterion.
Classifications for assembly structures help to create
transparency about configurations in the solution space of
structural planning by differentiating central dimensions.
Due to the high complexity of matrix assemblies, existing
classification approaches cannot be used, as the dimensions
and characteristics used do not differentiate configurations
clearly. Furthermore, existing evaluation approaches are not
suitable for the data-based quantification of flexibility as
decision support in the early phase of structural planning.
As a result, the efficiency and effectiveness of planning
flexible, flow-oriented assembly structures are not ensured.
To address these challenges, this thesis develops a
structural planning methodology for the efficient and
data-based determination of flexible, flow-oriented assembly
structures by means of a classification. A defined,
redundance-free set of flexibility criteria allows to
quantitatively specify the flexibility requirements of a use
case through the targeted assessment of production program
and process time data. A level-based classification
organizes the configurations of flow-oriented assembly
structures and breaks down the interdependencies of the
combined structure elements. This eliminates the effort
involved in structuring the solution space of structural
planning and makes planning complexity efficiently
manageable. Furthermore, the structure configurations are
prioritized on the basis of a systematic comparison of the
required and provided flexibility of configurations for
decision support. This ensures that the structure
configurations offer sufficient flexibility and structural
planning delivers high-quality results. The
operationalization in a methodology and its integration into
a holistic assembly planning procedure makes the collected
insights accessible to assembly planners in a compact form.
Overall, the methodology enables the efficient and
transparent determination of assembly structures according
to the specific flexibility requirements of an use case.},
