Assembly line balancing (ALB) aims at distributing those work required to assemble a product in mass or series production among a set of workstations in an assembly line. Heuristics approaches, in corporation with computer simulation, have demonstrated a number of advantages in practice. In this paper a technique has been presented for the hybridization of the heuristic for the assembly line ba...

Recently Indonesian textile and garment manufacturer has experienced a problem with shop floor production. The complexities in the manufacturing process led to many problems such as inefficiency, thus prevented company from achieving its target. In fact, even though established efficiency target of 80%, production cannot realize it. Thus, this research aims increase line reach company’s At begi...

Assembly line balancing is a key for organizational productivity in terms of reduced number of workstations for a given production volume per shift. Mixed-model assembly line balancing is a reality in many organizations. The mixed-model assembly line balancing problem comes under combinatorial category. So, in this paper, an attempt has been made to develop three genetic algorithms for the mixe...

BACKGROUND This meta-analysis was designed to compare the accuracy of soft tissue balancing and femoral component rotation as well as change in joint line positions, between the measured resection and gap balancing techniques in primary total knee arthroplasty. METHODS Studies were included in the meta-analysis if they compared soft tissue balancing and/or radiologic outcomes in patients who ...
