Abstract
Household appliances assembly is critical process, with steps having resort to manual operations, to achieve cheap final products with customer satisfaction and to win world-wide competitiveness. The paper investigates the joint product-and-process design (by simultaneous engineering rules) and assesses the return figures (by expert simulation) obtained exploiting modular robotic facilities.
