Abstract

Precise and efficient product kitting evaluations are vital for boosting assembly performance and customer contentment for varied, small-batch, and intricate electromechanical products. However, current enterprise resource planning systems (ERP) provide inadequate support for analyzing the kitting of products. How to evaluate the degree to which customers' demands for a complete set of multiple products can be met when adjusting the importance level of customer demands without changing the customer demand date in the production system and affecting the scheduled customer orders has become one of the urgent problems that enterprises need to solve. In response to the above issues, this article presents a method for evaluating product kitting, which takes the maximum quantity of complete sets of products as the optimization objective, considers multiple constraints such as material inventory data and in process business data, and designs a multi-level BOM decomposition algorithm. Finally, a case study of a company producing core components for standard high-speed trains demonstrates the practicality and efficacy of the proposed method.
