Anticipating technical car sequencing rules in the master production scheduling of mixed-model assembly lines

Abstract In this paper, we propose a new linear programming-based approach that enables the consideration of technical car sequencing rules in master production scheduling mixed-model assembly lines at much higher level detail than previous approaches. To end, investigate certain interdependencies rules, which have largely been neglected, both practice and research literature. We illustrate existence impact these show they induce additional implicit constraints, can be represented by inequalities incorporated into optimization models for scheduling. numerical study, evaluate show, it significantly reduce violations compared to existing
