Abstract

The cell assembly system is a new innovation of production strategies in the industry. There are many system performances needed to evaluate for the line-cell conversion, parts storage is one of them. In this paper, an overview of line-cell conversion to generate insights of the innovation is presented at first, and then a mathematical model is proposed to describe the performance of parts storage in a cell assembly system. At last, some numerical simulation experiments are designed and executed to evaluate the system performance of parts storage.
