The assembly line is very complicated and its performance directly determines the aircraft production efficiency and cost. Therefore, the modeling, simulation and optimization for aircraft assembly line are very important. In this paper, a modeling and simulation approach for aircraft assembly line based on Quest simulation software has been investigated. Firstly, the characteristics of the aircraft assembly and Quest are briefly introduced in this article. Then, the assembly process model of center fuselage was established, the assembly process is simulated and analyzed, the bottleneck in the production line has been found, which can be used to optimize the assembly line.
