Description
Summary:Includes bibliographical references. === This project introduces, and demonstrates assembly concepts that are helping to change the nature of industrial production. The emergence of Concurrent Engineering as a production process ideal is being fuelled in part by some of these assembly concepts. The idea for the project stems from a course on Desing for Manufacture and Assembly, which the author of this thesis attended in 1999. From there, a lot of the work done in the area of assembly has been researched. The understanding of the theory conveyed in this document is based on this information.
