ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a pull-type vehicle assembly line control system and method in which a production plan for a final assembly process, or a trim process, is established first, and, using this as a basis, a production plan for a paint process then that for a vehicle body assembly process are set up. Further, in the present invention, information on the progress for the three main assembly processes--the vehicle body assembly process, paint process, and trim process--is mutually exchanged such that a dynamic re-specification assembly process is utilized in which operational sequences for each of the process are continuously readjusted to adapt to the overall assembly process.
