Scenario based robust line balancing: Computational complexity
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper studies the following line balancing problem with uncertain operation execution times. Operations on the same product have to be assigned to the stations of a transfer line. The product moves along the stations in the same direction, and operations assigned to the same station are executed sequentially. Exclusion, inclusion and precedence relations are given on the set of operations. Operation execution times are uncertain in the sense that their set belongs to a given set of scenarios. The objective is to minimize the line cycle time, which is equal to the maximum total execution time of operations of the same station, for the worst scenario. An approach to reducing the scenario set is described. Several special cases of the problem are proved NP-hard and strongly NP-hard. Enumerative dynamic programming algorithms and problem-specific polynomial time algorithms are suggested for some cases.

A novel bi-level stochastic programming model for supply chain network design with assembly line balancing under demand uncertainty
This paper investigates the integration of strategic and tactical decisions in the supply chain network design (SCND) considering assembly line balancing (ALB) under demand uncertainty. Due to the decentralized decisions, a novel bi-level stochastic programming (BLSP) model has been developed in which SCND problem has been considered in the upper-level model, while the lower-level model contain...
متن کاملMulti-objective scheduling and assembly line balancing with resource constraint and cost uncertainty: A “box” set robust optimization
Assembly lines are flow-oriented production systems that are of great importance in the industrial production of standard, high-volume products and even more recently, they have become commonplace in producing low-volume custom products. The main goal of designers of these lines is to increase the efficiency of the system and therefore, the assembly line balancing to achieve an optimal system i...

متن کاملA Robust Scenario Based Approach in an Uncertain Condition Applied to Location-Allocation Distribution Centers Problem
The paper discusses the location-allocation model for logistic networks and distribution centers through considering uncertain parameters. In real-world cases, demands and transshipment costs change over the period of the time. This may lead to large cost deviation in total cost. Scenario based robust optimization approaches are proposed where occurrence probability of each scenario is not know...
متن کاملA 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...
