Method for a Situation-based Adaptation and Validation of the Manufacturing Capability of Assembly Systems

AbstractThis paper presents our approach and the developed method for a situation-based adaptation and validation of the manufacturing capability of assembly systems. After motivating the research the problem statement and the state of the art in the field of assembly planning will be discussed. Afterwards the overall approach will be introduced. The method, which is developed based on the approach will be discussed and the derived software tool, which will support the planner in his daily activities, will be presented and explained. The paper concludes with a summary and an outlook
