Abstract
A method for assembling machines using multiple, structurally equivalent components. The characteristics of each component are tested. The tested components are sorted into component classes using the test information. Individual components are selected from the classes and combined in a manner that, when combined, will provide desired price/performance characteristics in the machine. Machines with improved price/performance characteristics may be assembled without requiring change to the quality of the components, or the manner in which the components are manufactured.
