Parts kitting is a frequently adopted method to feed parts from a warehouse to an assembly line. While kitting allows minimisation of space occupation and Work In Process holding cost at the workstations, also simplifying materials flow and supporting manual assembly, it is penalised by high workforce cost for manual kits preparation. For this reason, automated kitting systems have been also proposed although their practical application is somewhat limited owing to the relevant capital investment and scarce performances of robotised kitting systems. Moreover, economic models allowing a quantitative comparison of manual and automated kitting systems are not yet available in the literature. As a contribution to fill this gap, in this paper a ...
