Flexibility for all different models within one body shop production line could be achieved without changing jigs, grippers as well as joining tools. A comprehensive analysis of the process chain formed the basis for the necessary development steps. In addition, planning methods based on mathematical optimization algorithms were developed and applied to cope with the complexity of the task. All the individual aspects are obtained, and the newly developed components were combined into a complete plant concept and its economic efficiency has been proven by Volkswagen planning department.
