Abstract
A manufacturing method is provided for assembling a number of products by generating and scheduling dynamically a number of assembly instructions from modeling information. The manufacturing method generates exact assembly instructions for the full theoretical scope of the product line. The generated instructions do not require any human lookup or inference. Even exact instructions for configured components of the final product are generated. Which instructions are required to build the final product are derived from a “model” of the product.
