Abstract

Today, manufacturers are forced to acknowledge that the life cycles of products are becoming shorter. In the case of the door trim assembly field, the highly frequent introduction of new products and the continuous increase in product varieties leads to the demand for redesigning assembly systems more often. Modular manufacturing systems can be an important issue in helping to overcome these problems. This paper presents the development of a modular assembly system for the door trim, and because it takes the change drives into consideration, this system is highly flexible in adapting to changes in the environment.
