This paper assesses two key elements of systems architecting: methodologies and heuristics, as they are applied to the concept design of a new high‐volume, discrete part assembly production system. A description of the system is provided, and then attention is focused on four major areas in the design: human factors design, system structure development, assembly scope definition, and system operating principles. In addition to descibing the use of existing heurisics, this paper presents and supports new heuristics developed in the course of architecting this system. These methods and heuristics have enabled forward progress in an evolution toward world‐class manufacturing.
