چکیده

assembly line production is one of the widely used basic principles in production system. the problem of assembly line balancing deals with the distribution of activities among the workstations so that there will be maximum utilization of human resources and facilities without disturbing the work sequence. research works reported in the literature mainly deals with minimization of idle time i.e. balancing, subject to precedence constraints. lack of uniqueness in their optimum solutions has led to the present work where minimization of both balancing loss and system loss has been envisaged under the usual precedence constraints. the researchers suggest a generic approach for designing of an assembly line where, with a given number of workstations, one can efficiently arrive at the desired solution under different methods of search like simulation, heuristic etc. thus, the main aim of this paper is to redefine the objective of the assembly line balancing problem and sequentially handle balancing loss and system loss. a numerical example has been added to demonstrate the generic nature of the researcher's approach and improvement in the solution set when compared with different standard line balancing methods available so far in the literature.

‘BALANCING AND SEQUENCING’ VERSUS ‘ONLY BALANCING’ IN MIXED MODEL U-LINE ASSEMBLY SYSTEMS: AN ECONOMIC ANALYSIS

With the growth in customers’ demand diversification, mixed-model U-lines (MMUL) have acquired increasing importance in the area of assembly systems. There are generally two different approaches in the literature for balancing such systems. Some researchers believe that since the types of models can be very diverse, a balancing approach without simultaneously sequencing of models will not yield...

genetic algorithms for assembly line balancing problem

there are some machineries and equipments as well as relatively fix amount of human resources involved in any production process. in many cases, by observing operational method of a process, one may see that some of these machineries are not working, but on the other hand, other equipments are continuously working, and many parts are set in front of them, waiting to be set up over machines to c...

Mixed-Model Assembly Line Balancing with Considering Reliability

This paper presents a multi-objective simulated annealing algorithm for the mixed-model assembly line balancing with stochastic processing times. Since, the stochastic task times may have effects on the bottlenecks of a system, maximizing the weighted line efficiency (equivalent to the minimizing the number of station), minimizing the weighted smoothness index and maximizing the system reliabil...

A Bi-Objective Approach to an Assembly Line Re-Balancing Problem: Model and Differential Evolution Algorithms

Assembly lines are special kinds of production systems which are of great importance in the industrial production of high quantity commodities. In many practical manufacturing systems, configuration of assembly lines is fixed and designing a new line may be incurred huge amount of costs and thereby it is not desirable for practitioners. When some changes related to market demand occur, it is wo...
