Balancing of parallel U-shaped assembly lines
A new hybrid assembly line design, called Parallel U-shaped Assembly Line system, is introduced and characterised along with numerical examples for the first time. Different from existing studies on U-shaped lines, we combine the advantages of two individual line configurations (namely parallel lines and U-shaped lines) and create an opportunity for assigning tasks to multi-line workstations lo...
متن کاملA Simulated Annealing Approach for Balancing and Sequencing of Mixed-model U-lines
This study proposes a simulated annealing-based approach for simultaneously solving balancing and sequencing problems of mixed-model U-lines. The proposed approach is capable of minimizing the number of workstations required on the mixed-model U-line as well as minimizing absolute deviation of workloads (ADW) among workstations. An experiment to evaluate the performance of the algorithm is also...
متن کاملGenetic Algorithm for Concurrent Balancing of Mixed-Model Assembly Lines with Original Task Times of Models
The growing global competition compels manufacturing organizations to engage themselves in all productivity improvement activities. In this direction, the consideration of mixed-model assembly line balancing problem and implementing in industries plays a major role in improving organizational productivity. In this paper, the mixed model assembly line balancing problem with deterministic task ti...
متن کاملA heuristic approach for U-shaped assembly line balancing to improve labor productivity
The assembly line balancing problem is a non deterministic polynomial type planning problem for mass production. Layout design changes constitute a major decision that yields investment for assembly operations and numerous heuristics have been reported in the literature for solving the line balancing problems. U-shaped assembly layout offers several benefits over traditional straight-line layou...
متن کاملSimultaneous Balancing and Scheduling of Flexible Mixed Model Assembly Lines with Sequence-Dependent Setup Times
We consider Simultaneous Balancing and Scheduling of Flexible Mixed Model Assembly Lines with Sequence-Dependent Setup Times (SBSFMMAL-SDST). We propose alternate Mixed Integer Programming (MIP) and Constraint Programming (CP) formulations. Our experiments show that while the MIP models could not solve relatively small instances, the CP approach seems more promising.
