“…Matthias et al (2011) were the first to propose a framework for designing a collaborative assembly line, and as expected, safety was the considered performance criterion. Afterwards, other studies were published with different performance criteria (Djuric et al, 2016;Schonberger et al, 2018;Cencen et al, 2018;Serebrenny et al, 2019a;Jepsen et al, 2021;Gervasi et al, 2022). After several framework studies, Gil-Vilda et al (2017) evaluated the performance of a real collaborative assembly line in a comparative case study.…”

“…Malik et al (2020) provided a framework to simulate the designed assembly line with virtual reality to evaluate the flexibility of the assembly line. Jepsen et al (2021) proposed a new framework to design a flexible assembly line. Inoue et al (2021) used mobile cobots to transfer products in an assembly line to improve flexibility.…”

“…The population's rapid growth was the principal reason for that situation (Malik & Bilberg, 2019b). To face this increasing demand, industrial systems have been developed during the first and second industrial revolutions, and mass production has become a common strategy (Jepsen et al, 2021). This was followed by the introduction of robots into manufacturing systems in the third industrial revolution (Azzi et al, 2012).…”

Nowadays, considering the constant changes in customers’ demands, manufacturing systems tend to move more and more towards customization while ensuring the expected reactivity. In addition, more attention is given to the human factors to, on the one hand, create opportunities for improving the work conditions such as safety and, on the other hand, reduce the risks brought by new technologies such as job cannibalization. Meanwhile, Industry 4.0 offers new ways to facilitate this change by enhancing human–machine interactions using Collaborative Robots (Cobots). Recent research studies have shown that cobots may bring numerous advantages to manufacturing systems, especially by improving their flexibility. This research investigates the impacts of the integration of cobots in the context of assembly and disassembly lines. For this purpose, a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) is performed. The existing contributions are classified on the basis of the subject of study, methodology, methodology, performance criteria, and type of Human-Cobot collaboration. Managerial insights are provided, and research perspectives are discussed.
