Abstract

The trend towards mass customization has led to a significant increase of the complexity of manufacturing systems. Models to evaluate the complexity have been developed, but the complexity analysis of work stations is still done manually. This paper describes an automated analysis tool that makes us of multi-camera video images to support the complexity analysis of assembly line work stations.
