Method for the quantification of the rationalization potential of design for assembly

At the IPA a new method was developed, to quantify the potential of design for assembly with the help of changed product parameters. To the particular measures of the adjusted assembly which are known up to now, the consequences of the flexible automated assembly can be shown. By detailled analysis, which led to knowledge about the automation, it was possible to quantify the consequences in the matter of expenses. The procedure is applicable on a PC.
