Production planning to support mixed-model assembly
نویسندگان
چکیده
A mixed-model assembly line is widely used nowadays in industry. Effectively applying mixed-model assembly can result in smooth part usage and balanced workloads on the assembly line. The problem of production planning in terms of scheduling various models on an assembly line over a time horizon is studied here. The problem assumes that each model has a given range of production days within the planning horizon. An industrial production system is presented to demonstrate the application of this problem. A two-phase procedure that generates an initial solution and makes further improvement is developed. The procedure is evaluated using randomly generated problems and an industrial example. q 2003 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

A Multi-objective Mixed Model Two-sided Assembly Line Sequencing Problem in a Make –To- Order Environment with Customer Order Prioritization
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...

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...
