Assembly Process

Case Description

The assembly process is a combination of three stages: Adhesive joining, Spot welding and hemming. The Final product is a result of joining the four components: Component1, Component2, Component3 and Component4 whereas WIP1 and WIP2 are the intermediary outputs during the process. The table below defines the input, output and processing time of each stage.
