ASSEMBLY SEQUENCE PLANNING WITH THE PRINCIPLES OF DESIGN FOR ASSEMBLY

The article characterises the EASYASSEMBLE method, which is meant to set an optimal assembly sequence for mechanical products, basing on an evaluation including requirements of design for assembly. The use of the computer implementation of the method - computer program EASYASSEMBLE - is presented on a real live example. The program is dedicated to constructors, technologists and planners (especially of the assembly process). It should serve as a help in designing products and adjusting their construction to easy and cheap assembly process.
