A series of machines and workers organized in a factory is called an assembly line. They are organized as work centers dedicated to performing specific operations. The assembled product passes through these work centers in a sequence. At each work center, a new part can be added or processed until the finished product is ready.
The engineering manufacturing department is responsible to design and set up the assembly line. A typical assembly line looks like the following image:
The assembly line to produce the Computer Desk
can be divided into three different work centers. It starts with Cutting
, followed by Drilling
, and ends with Fitting
.
At the Cutting center, we process the Table Top
and make the required size as per the specifications. At Drilling, we drill the Table Top
to join the top and legs, and finally, at Fitting, we assemble the Top with the Legs using Bolts.
Let's set up the work centers and assembly line for the Computer Desk
