N2 - Electric vehicles are currently on the rise due to environmental and legal concerns. Furthermore, improvements made in battery assembly steadily boosts the efficiency of electric vehicles. A well-prevalent method to overcome the uncertainties that emerge from the ever-changing battery technology, is to assemble products using pilot production lines. However, literature pertaining to the scale-up of pilot production lines for full scale production is scarce. Therefore, in this paper, potential scale-up scenarios for battery module assembly line are proposed in a discrete event simulation software and results are compared. Furthermore, the benefits of the proposed method are discussed with a test case.
