Abstract

Industry 5.0 envisions a future of manufacturing that realizes personalized production, increased efficiency, and sustainability with a focus on human-centric production. While there have been numerous studies aimed at improving the efficiency of assembly processes, there is a need for smart manufacturing technologies that consider the individual characteristics of workers. This study explores manufacturing shop-floor data collected through wearable devices to analyze the characteristics of processes and workers quantitatively, which have traditionally been evaluated qualitatively. In addition, this study proposes a mathematical method to define the process difficulty and the process proficiency of workers based on data, and presents a heuristic algorithm for worker assignment using a process proficiency matrix of workers by processes. A case study is conducted in a laboratory environment mimicking a home appliance assembly production line in the United States to validate the feasibility of the proposed methodology. This study presents a novel approach to examining human-centric assembly production lines and provides empirical evidence supporting the efficiency of data-driven analysis and improvement techniques for human-centric assembly lines.
