This study aims for realizing new assembly process planning methodology to promote agile manufacturing to meet diversified customer orders and shorten product life cycle in the globally competitive market. First, a simplified assembly process planning model composed of three characterized planning items is newly proposed by analyzing 20 actual assembly process. Next, assembly process planning methodology based on the model and unique quantitative evaluation method by information entropy, is newly proposed. The new assembly process planning methodology realizes fast and accurate assembly process planning. Finally, the methodology is demonstrated the effectiveness by applying for the process planning of a blower in an auto air conditioner.
