Assembly planning of aircraft based on polychromatic sets

This paper presents a new framework for the assembly planning of aircraft which integrates assembly sequence planning (ASP) with CAPP on the basis of the standardized mathematical model of polychromatic sets. This paper fulfills three main tasks including the selection of location mode and assembly equipments, assembly sequence planning, and assembly process planning based on a unified model, which may bring forward a new development direction in the assembly planning of aircraft.
