Abstract
Based on the fact that the complexity of the product design affects the labor intensity of its manufacture and the efficiency of operation, the concept of product complexity is formulated by determining the number of levels of the design structure. It is proposed to describe the structure of the product design using a graph reflecting the connections between the elements of the product design, and to show their subordination using the design bases of each element and describe the number of levels and the number of elements at each level of the graph. It is shown that the structure of the design affects the construction of the route of the assembly technological process of the product. In this regard, it is proposed to supplement the initial data for designing the assembly technological process with a graph indicating the connection modules on its edges. This allows, in the presence of an element base of the means of technological support for the connection modules, determination of the expected labor intensity of the product assembly.
