This paper presents a new mathematical programming model for the bi-criteria mixed-model assembly line balancing problem in a just-in-time (JIT) production system. There is a set of criteria to judge sequences of the product mix in terms of the effective utilization of the system. The primary goal of this model is to minimize the setup cost and the stoppage assembly line cost, simultaneously. B...

We propose the Assembly Line Worker Integration and Balancing Problem (ALWIBP), a new assembly line balancing problem arising in lines with conventional and disabled workers. The goal of this problem is to maintain high productivity levels by minimizing the number of workstations needed to reach a given output, while including in the assembly line a number of disabled workers. This problem gain...

In the complex and ever-changing manufacturing environment, maintaining long-term steady efficient work of assembly line is ultimate goal pursued by relevant enterprises, foundation which a balanced load. Therefore, this paper carries out research on two-sided balance problem (TALBP) for load balancing. At first, mathematical programming model established with objectives optimizing efficiency, ...
