Abstract: The automated assembly systems are designed to perform
the assembly operations in a fixed sequence to assemble products. Four types of
system/operational planning issues are significant which are: delivery of parts
at workstations; single station system; multi-station automated systems; and
partial automation. This paper is focused on multi station automated system
which is employed for operational performance of the assembly operations.
Standard mathematical routines have been modeled and analyzed using real life
industrial data engaged in assembling of products in high technology industry.
Sensitivity analysis is carried out to observe the impact of process parameters
on the performance of system. A comparison of these functions allowed users to
identify sensitive process parameters affecting the system. It has been learnt
that yield related parameters are the most sensitive in the automated system
followed by the cost and process cycle time.
