| Abstract: | Formation of products platforms is carried out during the planning stage and very often separately from the planning of corresponding assembly lines. There is a dearth of literature which considers the different aspects of fully integrating platform design, product family formation, assembly line design, delayed product differentiation, and new concepts of mass customization. A Modular Product Platform Configuration model which uses assembly and disassembly for configuring product variants and Co-Planning of products platforms (MPCC) and their assembly Lines is presented. It is used to co-plan the common platform components and the associated product families simultaneously with the planning of its corresponding mixed-model assembly line. Using both assembly and disassembly to customize the product family platform in order to generate product variants is not commonly discussed in literature. It is defined as the formation of platforms for use to derive multiple products by including many components not shared by every product. The platform is then customized by assembling or disassembling components to form different product variants. The model is formulated using mixed integer mathematical programming to minimize the number of assembly stations and cycle time. Two case studies are used for verification and demonstration. They illustrated the ability of the MPCC model to integrate the planning of product platform, product families and the number of assembly stations required to assemble and disassemble components from mass-assembled product platforms to derive new product variants. |
