Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

Aim of the course is to provide to students innovative methodologies, mathematical models and tools for the advanced design and management of assembly lines operating in today's manufacturing environment characterized by high complexity, short response times and scarcity of resources.
The content of the course deals with the following topics:
- Analysis of popular methodologies for designing and operating assembly lines
- The design of assembly lines to minimize the number of stations and cycle time
- Quantitative performance indices to measure the efficiency of assembly lines
- Single, multi and mixed model assembly lines
- Material flow in the assembly process: synchronous and asynchronous assembly lines
- Assembly time variability: deterministic, stochastic and dynamic
- Emerging characteristics of assembly lines and the current manufacturing environment
- Quantitative methodologies for integrating emerging characteristics into the design and management of assembly lines
- Practical solving tools for defining efficient assembly line configurations
- Heuristic solving algorithms for designing assembly lines by minimizing the number of stations or cycle time
- Use of commercial solvers for the optimization of assembly lines
- Real-world case studies of industrial derivation: the assembly process of the automotive and large products.

The lecture types and organizations will include all the following approaches:
 Frontal lectures for theoretical content presentation
 Discussion with students for in-depth topics understanding
 In-class teamwork for developing of mathematical models and heuristic algorithms
 In-class hands-on for coding and programming examples and applications

Art der Leistungskontrolle und erlaubte Hilfsmittel

To successfully attend this course, the students should have general understanding of the following concepts and topics:
 Integer and linear programming
 Mathematical modelling of a targeted and defined problem
 Basic competences in programming, with whatsoever coding language
 Heuristic algorithms, constructive and local search are preferrable
Each student has to bring his/her own laptop at every lecture.
Technical notes of the lectures will be provided to students.

Mindestanforderungen und Beurteilungsmaßstab

After attending this course students will be able to:
- Identify the characteristics of modern assembly lines.
- Evaluate the impact of these features on line design and management.
- Develop analytical models for designing and operating assembly lines.
- Solve the defined optimization problems through proper solvers and/or heuristic algorithms
- Choosing the best configuration by simultaneously considering different performance criteria (KPIs)

Prüfungsstoff

The examination is going to take place accordingly to the following activities:
 Definition of teams of 2 or 3 students each.
 Assignment to each team of a specific ALBP to tackle.
 Each team has a defined number of weeks to develop the related mathematical model and solve it through a co-defined heuristic algorithm.
 Presentation of the activities developed and results obtained
