Abstract The aim of this work is to enable a step towards self-adapting digital toolset for manufacturing planning focusing on minimally constrained assembly line balancing. approach includes the simultaneous definition optimum number workstations, cycle time and assignment tasks workstations. A bespoke genetic algorithm (GENALSAS) proposed demonstrated which focuses examining simple balancing ...

This paper addresses a new Mixed-model Assembly Line Sequencing Problem in the Footwear industry. problem emerges large company, which benefits from advanced automated stitching systems. However, these systems need to be managed and optimised. Operators with varied abilities operate machines of various types, placed throughout lines. In different quantities, components shoe models, boxes, move ...
