摘要
This paper develops an analytical model to evaluate serial and parallel designs for an assembly system. The purpose is to identify when each design is cost-effective, using minimal data. The analysis shows that the design alternatives are based on a trade-off between labour and equipment utilization. Equations are derived for a simple system to illustrate this trade-off. Results indicate that the optimal trade-off depends simply on the ratio of labour to equipment costs. The trade-off analysis provides a first step towards establishing basic principles for assembly system design.
