Design of assembly line is done in order to more coordinate a collection of some consecutive work stations for the aim of obtaining more productivity from the work stations and workers. The stations are arranged in a way to have a continuous and constant material flow. In this paper a multi-objective formulation for assembly line balancing is introduced. As a solution approach a two-step approa...

This paper deals with priority based fuzzy goal programming approach for solving multi-objective linear fractional programming problem. In the model formulation of the problem, we construct the fractional membership functions by determining the optimal solution of the objective functions subject to the system constraints. The fractional membership functions are then transformed into equivalent ...

  A fuzzy goal programming-based approach is used to solve a proposed multi-objective linear programming model and simultaneously handle two important problems in cellular manufacturing systems, viz. cell formation and layout design. Considerations of intra-cell layout, the intra-cell material handling can be calculated exactly. The advantages of the proposed model are considering machining cos...
