Abstract
Information-theory has been used to research the manufacturing system complexity for decade years. In order to describe the complexity more accurately, the assembly manufacturing system is aimed in this paper. The hierarchy structure of the assembly manufacturing system is first analyzed. The assembly system complexity is classified as structure complexity, process complexity and control complexity. In order to improve the complexity model, the process complexity is furthermore classified as static and dynamic process complexity which can describe the complexity of ideal and actual production process respectively. Then an integrated complexity model is proposed based on the classification.
