Abstract

High-technological products often consist of several components, each with varying feature values that are critical to the assembly’s quality. As traditional manufacturing involves random selection of components, strict tolerance ranges are typically set to limit their feature variability, increasing scrap rates and lowering material efficiency. By smartly combining components based on their measured features, selective and hybrid assembly allow for more relaxed tolerances and more efficient use of raw materials without affecting the final product’s quality. However, the increased logistical complexity involves additional operational costs, complicating the choice for the best strategy.
