چکیده

in many real world assembly line systems which the work-piece is of large size more than one worker work on the same work-piece in each station. this type of assembly line is called multi-manned assembly line (mal). in the classical multi-manned assembly line balancing problem (malbp) the objective is to minimize the manpower needed to manufacture one product unit. apart from the manpower, other cost drivers like wage rates or machinery are neglected in this classical view of the problem. however due to the high competition in the current production environment, reducing the production costs and increasing utilization of available resources are very important issues for manufacturing managers. in this paper a cost-oriented approach is used to model the malbp with the aim of minimizing total cost per production unit. a mathematical model is developed to solve the problem. since the proposed model is np-hard, several heuristic algorithms and a genetic algorithm (ga) are presented to efficiently solve the problem. parameters and operators of the ga are selected using the design of experiments (doe) method. several examples are solved to illustrate the proposed model and the algorithms.

Assembly line balancing problem with skilled and unskilled workers: The advantages of considering multi-manned workstations

This paper address a special class of generalized assembly line balancing in which it is assumed that there are two groups of workers: skilled and unskilled ones. The skilled workers are hired permanently while the unskilled ones can be hired temporarily in order to meet the seasonal demands. It is also assumed that more than one worker may be assigned to each workstation. To show the adv...

Solving a multi-objective mixed-model assembly line balancing and sequencing problem

This research addresses the mixed-model assembly line (MMAL) by considering various constraints. In MMALs, several types of products which their similarity is so high are made on an assembly line. As a consequence, it is possible to assemble and make several types of products simultaneously without spending any additional time. The proposed multi-objective model considers the balancing and sequ...

A Multi-Objective Particle Swarm Optimization for Mixed-Model Assembly Line Balancing with Different Skilled Workers

This paper presents a multi-objective Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm for worker assignment and mixed-model assembly line balancing problem when task times depend on the worker’s skill level. The objectives of this model are minimization of the number of stations (equivalent to the maximization of the weighted line efficiency), minimization of the weighted smoothness index and minim...
