چکیده
This paper deals with various ways of using multiobjective (vector) optimization in assembly line optimization problem. Nowadays, there are two main approaches to solve multi-objective optimization tasks: artificial intelligence approach using mainly evolutionary algorithms; and mathematical approach based on detail mathematic description of optimized assembly line. This paper is summarizing knowledge of application possibilities of both approaches in assembly line optimizing. Also actual status of my dissertation thesis is mentioned, as well as list of solved and unsolved problems and future direction of my dissertation thesis. Keywords—assembly line, multi-objective optimization, objective function, constraints

Multi-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 multi-objective genetic algorithm for a mixed-model assembly U-line balancing type-I problem considering human-related issues, training, and learning
Mixed-model assembly lines are increasingly accepted in many industrial environments to meet the growing trend of greater product variability, diversification of customer demands, and shorter life cycles. In this research, a new mathematical model is presented considering balancing a mixed-model U-line and human-related issues, simultaneously. The objective function consists of two separate com...

Mixed model two-sided assembly lines (MM2SAL) are applied to assemble large product models, which is produced in high-volume. So, the sequence planning of products to reduce cost and increase productivity in this kind of lines is imperative. The presented problem is tackled in two steps. In step 1, a framework is developed to select and prioritize customer orders under the finite capacity of th...
