Abstract
The changing paradigm in manufacturing from mass production to personalized production has increased product variety and requires companies to adapt their production strategies to remain profitable. Customized products are possible by combining the functional modules of a product in a variety of combinations, which results in a highly complex production program. As a result, there are diverse requirements, particularly for the assembly processes. Assembly lines, which were originally used for large-scale production of a single product type, have become increasingly complex in order to provide the required flexibility. In order to adapt assembly lines to these requirements, many approaches exists regarding flexibilization and modularization. However, it is rarely discussed at which variance of the production program the line as the original organizational form is no longer efficient enough and when modifications of the line or completely different production structures would be more efficient. This paper deals with this question and develops a factor for assessing the complexity of a production program. It can be assumed that the efficiency of the line decreases significantly above a certain level of complexity and that other production structures perform better with increasing variance. To investigate this hypothesis, various production programs in different production structures are simulated in a case study.
