It is well known that an assembly operation is usually constrained by the geometric interference between parts. These constraints are normally presented as AND/OR precedence relationships. To find a feasible assembly sequence which satisfies the geometric constraints is not an easy task because of the TSP(Traveling Salesman Problem) nature with precedence constraints. In this paper, we developed an automated system based on Neural Network for generating feasible assembly sequences. Modified Hopfield and Tank network is used to solve the problem of AND/OR precedence-constrained assembly sequences. An economic assembly sequence can be also obtained by applying the cost matrix that contains cost-reducing factors. To evaluate the performance and effectiveness of the developed system, a case of automobile generator is tested. The results show that the developed system can provide a "good" planning tool for an assembly planner within a reasonable computation time period.

The pre-assembly takes a large portion of the fabrication cost of steel bridges. In order to save the fabrication cost through the improvement of the conventional pre-assembling process, this research investigates a numerical pre-assembly simulation as an alternative to current pre-assembling process. The 3D laser scanning was utilized in site and measuring data for steel box were analyzed. The productivity of pre-assembly simulation system is compared with the conventional pre-assembling system. This paper identifies feasibility on the alternative pre-assembling process and then proposes the scheme of the pre-assembly simulation system development satisfying the current pre-assembly inspection of standards.

Economic component screening procedures for multi-component assembly products supplied with warranty are proposed. It is assumed that the screening variable is continuous and the performance variable is dichotomous. Logistic and normal models are considered; the proportion of conforming items is a logistic function of the screening variable in the logistic model and the screening variable given the performance variable is normally distributed in the normal model. Cost models are constructed which involve three cost components; screening inspection cost for each component, cost due to disposing a rejected component, and warranty cost for an assembly product. Methods of finding the optimal screening procedures are presented and numerical examples are given.

In design and manufacturing airframe structures which are composed of a lot of sub-assemblies and large complex profile shapes it is difficult to reduce so called hardware variations. Accordingly cost increasing factors for manufacturing airframe parts are much more than other machine parts because of the variability of fabricated details and assemlies. To improve cost and quality, accurate assembly methods and DPD techniques are proposed in this paper which are based upon using CAD/CAM techniques, the concept of KC's and the coordinated datum and index throughout the design, tooling, manufacturing and inspection. The proposed methods are applied to produce fuselage frame assemblies and related engineering aspects are described regarding the design of parts and tools in the context of concurrent digital definition. First articles and consequent mass production of frame assemblies shows a great improvement of the process capability ratio from 0.7 by the past processes to 1.0 by the proposed methods in addition to the cost reduction due to the less number of tools, reduced total assembly times and the space compaction needed by massive inventory. The need to achieve better Cpk, however, and future studies to be investigated will be addressed briefly.

Structure of product, which is not considered by easy of assembly, has many hidden costs. For reduction of hidden costs, concepts of line balancing and assembly-oriented design are used. We find that part of structure can be improved by concept of line balancing. To reduce assembly time and enhance easy of assembly, design principles are developed by concept of assembly-oriented design. And design principles for improvement are applied according to condition of the grasped parts of product structure. Thersfore, we could design assembly-oriented design for better structure and low cost.

최근, OSC(Off-Site Construction)기반 PC구조의 활성화를 위한 제도적 기반 마련의 일환으로 적정공사비 산정에 필요한 품셈 개발을 요구받고 있다. PC공법의 공사비는 공장제작-운반-현장설치의 단계로 구성된다. 최근 운반과 현장 설치는 부재(subsidiary materials)별 현장실태 조사 결과를 반영한 표준품셈 체계(standard product calculation system)를 제시하는 등 관련 연구가 진행되고 있다(Lee et al., 2021). 반면, 공장 제작 공사비 산정과 관련된 연구는 전무한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 PC 공법의 공장제작 공사비 산정기준 마련을 위해 공장 제작 환경에 활용할 수 있는 품셈 체계를 제시하였다. 이를 위해 시공절차에 따른 작업 공종을 도출하였으며, 공종별로 연계된 표준품셈을 분석하여 작업 특성에 적합한 표준 투입인력을 산출하였다. 품셈 체계는 PC부재의 현장설치와 동일하게 기둥, 보, 벽체, 슬래브 부재로 구성하였으며, 공종별 기능공을 기준으로 부재별 기본공수를 제시함으로서 직접노무비의 산출이 가능하도록 하였다. 또한, 개별 부재의 규격(m³)에 따라 생산성이 변화되는 특성을 고려하여 부재 크기를 품의 할증 요소로 제시하였다. 본 연구결과는 현재 견적에 의해 재료비료 계상되는 PC공법의 공장제작 비용을 객관적으로 검증할 수 토대 마련에 기여할 수 것이다.

The shock absorber base assembly is one of the parts in the shock absorber equipment that controls the vehicle movement. It absorbs the shock and vibration to guarantee riding stability and comfort. It demands strength, reliability and strict airtightness of the welded section because the shock absorber base assembly is a container which resists pressure and needs durability by being filled with gas and oil. However, the current engineering needs a lot of production time, has a high cost and shows a low production rate. These problem due to the eight production processes, four of which are spot welding, reinforcement welding like metal active welding (MAG), prior process of the base assembly cap and tube for precision and pressing. We will analyze the manufacturing processes of the base assembly and suggest an improved manufacturing method that uses frictional welding. The results will show that the new method of the frictional welding is better than the previous welding technique. Through the use of this concept of frictional welding, the welding conjunction will be strengthened, measurements will be more precise, and the cost and the number of processes will be reduced.

Many industrial products can be assembled in various sequences of assembly operations. To save time and cost in assembly process and to increase the quality of products, it is very important to choose an optimal assembly sequence. In this paper, we propose a methodology that generates an optimal assembly sequence by using the knowledge of experts. First, a product is divided into several sub-assemblies. Next, the disassembly sequences of sub-assembly are generated using disassembly rules and special information can be extracted through the disassembly process. By combining every assembly sequence of sub-assemblies, we can generate all the possible assembly sequences of a product. Finally, the expert system evaluates all the possible assembly sequences and finds an optimal assembly sequence. It can be achieved under consideration of the parameters such as assembly operation, tool change, safety of part. basepart location, setup change, distance, and orientation. The developed system is applied to UBR(Unit Bath Room) example.

This paper studies the relationship between assemblability and assembly time. After analyzing characteristic factors of bolts and parts, seven different kinds of assemblability parameters were determined according to assembly process, and assemblability was also evaluated. MTM (Method-Time Measurement) and Work factor methods were used for an estimation of assembly time. It shows the relationship can be found on the basis of characteristic factors of parts and bolts by relational graphs and numerical formulas.
