This bachelor thesis analyses the effectiveness and efficiency of assembly systems in modern industrial production with the aim of increasing their competitiveness. Central topics are the design and optimisation of assembly systems, which have a decisive influence on the productivity and quality of the end products. In this context, various assembly methods are analysed, including manual, semi-automatic and fully automatic systems. Ergonomic measures and modern technologies, such as lean methods and Industry 4.0, are crucial for the optimisation of assembly systems. Time optimisation methods and cost analyses provide precise tools for increasing efficiency and cost transparency. Quality management and error analyses, in particular using methods such as FMEA and Jürgen Henke's model, help to improve efficiency and quality. The evaluation of potential in production takes into account key criteria such as costs, time, quality, flexibility, ergonomics and technological integration. Assistance systems, such as pick-by-light systems, digital work instructions, AR and MR technologies and cobots, offer considerable potential for optimisation. These systems increase efficiency, reduce errors and improve employee flexibility and training. Based on the experience at FRONIUS INTERNATIONAL GmbH, the work shows that the implementation of such technologies can significantly increase efficiency and productivity. However, this integration requires careful planning, training and continuous monitoring to ensure long-term competitive advantages and sustainability in the production processes. Overall, the work emphasises the need for a multi-faceted approach to effectively identify, analyse and evaluate potentials in assembly. Only a balanced combination of technologies and methods can ensure long-term competitiveness in production.
