Abstract

A computer-based system that determines the most appropriate automated assembly parts presentation method for a given part is described. Given a description of a part, the system performs feasibility and economic analyses of several parts presentation techniques. The feasibility analysis, which determines a set of possibly applicable methods, is carried out first. The economic analysis then determines which of the possible methods is least expensive. The system is intended to aid in assembly system planning as well as provide important assembly cost feedback to part designers. An example describing part redesign is discussed.
