The tool selection is an important process in assembly planning. It is often required for industry to develop compact products in the competitive market. An efficient assembly depends on proper tools used in the assembly. It is a challenging task to embed tool selection in assembly planning because the tool selection in assembly is based on the tool feasibility that is highly dynamic, complex and variable. Therefore, current tool selection in assembly planning relies on planners’ experience. This paper presents an approach to tool selection-embedded optimal assembly planning. It aims to generate an optimal assembly plan with its tool alternatives.
