Research on Multi-Level Modeling Method for Aircraft Assembly Line

Abstract:

The process time of aircraft assembly line is easily influenced by the efficiency of workers, the supply circumstance of components and the assembly quality. While the aircraft assembly line is hardly to reconfigure after it is in use, in order to optimize the assembly line before its application, a new object-oriented modeling method based on hierarchy and stochastic petri net has been put forward in this paper. The behavior and the structural characteristics of the model have been analyzed according to the solution of linear invariant. Finally, the model of aircraft wing assembly line has been established as an example, which proves the feasibility of the modeling method.
