Resumen

This research was initiated by an industrial project. The problem was the design and configuration of machining lines for engine blocks. The proposed approach was validated using four real cases provided by the industrial partners of the project. The proposed approach could easily be applied to the design and configuration of any machining line for the production of a single complex mechanical component.
