Lean Information Management of Manual Assembly Processes: Creating IT-based Information Systems for Assembly Staff Simultaneous to the Product Engineering Process

摘要

IT-based work instruction systems help to transfer the diversity of information for workers in an effective manner. In this way, the worker is supported in the comprehension of the task, which leads to such systems receiving increased recognition from manufacturing companies. However, the currently available worker information systems make no statement about how to involve their information processing early in the development process. Because to this, the basic idea of simultaneous engineering could be feasible and a partially automated, timely and cost-effective processing of assembly relevant information could occur. The approach of the development process-oriented, computer integrated documentation and visualisation process for assembly processes (CIV process) consider this problem field and add an innovative contribution.
