An Effective Method for Capacity Analysis of Aircraft Digital Assembly System

Abstract:

To support aircraft assembly system analysis and optimization, a producing performance analysis method for assembly unit is proposed on aircraft assembly system in this paper. The stochastic volatility characteristics of assembly system are firstly analyzed, and the equivalent transformations method for the analysis of system performance is studied, to study the factors which contribute to system performance, including operation experience and out-of-tolerance. A method for solving the system resource utilization is proposed based on identified probability density function. A formula to calculate the average productivity of the system is derived, and system performance boundaries are calculated based on flow balance principle. Finally, a method for the calculation of balancing factors of assembly operation units is proposed.
