Abstract
Purpose: This paper compares the effectiveness of typical selective assembly criteria and suggests the most promising one. Based on the result of a computer simulation, the key issues of selective assembly are examined and the best criterion is recommended from the effectiveness perspective. Methods: Using JAVA program, production of ten thousand units for each pair of components are simulated for selective assembly of the two types. And the number of mismatching and the fraction nonconforming for each criterion are determined. Results: The best match criterion appeared to be most promising from the perspectives of both mismatching and nonconforming problems. Its effectiveness appears to be also good even when the precision of one component is different from that of the other. Conclusion: For designing an optimal method for selective assembly, the best match criterion is recommendable as the base criterion.
