COMPUTER-IMPLEMENTED METHOD FOR DETERMINING AN OPTIMUM ASSIGNMENT OF MODULE TYPES TO AN ASSEMBLY LINE SELECTED WITH REGARD TO ITS ASSEMBLY CAPACITY

A method for determining an optimum assignment of module types including:a) ascertaining an expected production time for each module type of the modules to be assembled and for each assembly line,;b) assigning a set of module types of the set of module types to a predefined number of fixed-setup setup families containing respectively associated fixed setups;c) optimizing the assignment from b) such that, for all module types that are assigned to the fixed-setup setup families, a sum of differences between the expected production time per module type, if it were to be assembled on one of the remaining assembly lines with the minimum production time out of the at least one remaining assembly line, and the expected production time on the selected assembly line is maximized; andd) outputting the optimized assignment in a form suitable for controlling and/or regulating the assembly of the modules.
