Planning in assembly systems – A common modeling for products and resources

• This paper presents a method for modeling robot andhuman resources in the context of assembly systems planning.In assembly systems, several redundant resourcescan be used to increase system flexibility. However, the“quality” of a sequence planning strongly depends on the“quality” of the system modeling. Furthermore, occurrenceof unexpected events or variations in availability ofresources may have significant impact on the actual planning.Instead of using simplistic models such as availableor unavailable resources, the method presented in this paperproposes a more detailed modeling of resource abilities.Products and resources are considered on the samelevels and matched together on a final step. The aim ofthis modeling is to permit analyses and to increase systemflexibility.
