Traditional and fuzzy goal programming approaches for resource dependent assembly line balancing problem

In this study, two goal programming models are proposed for balancing resource dependent assembly lines with precise and fuzzy goals in order to provide flexibility decision makers based on their environment preferred priorities. Three conflicting goals, namely, total number of utilized workstations, cycle time cost additional resources (equipment assistant workers) considered. The validated illustrative examples scenario analyses performed different priority levels the goals. results show that formulations valid useful lines.
