A system is disclosed for use in assembling a plurality of rotatable elements
in
the assembly of a turbine engine. The system includes an initialization unit, a
measurement unit, and a processing unit. The initialization unit is for entering
initialization data into a database. The initialization data includes a first set
of initialization data that is representative of characteristics of a first rotatable
element, and a second set of initialization data that is representative of characteristics
of a second rotatable element. The measurement unit is for permitting a user to
enter measured data including a first set of measured data characteristic of measured
features of the first rotatable element, and a second set of measured data characteristic
of measured features of the second rotatable element. The processor unit is for
determining an optimal order and rotational arrangement of the first and second
rotatable elements with respect to one another responsive to the first and second
sets of initialization data and the first and second sets of measured data.
