This paper deals with an industrial problem of machining line design, which consists in partitioning a given set operations into several subsets corresponding to workstations and sequencing the satisfy technical requirements achieve best performance line. The has complex constraints that include partial order on operations, part positioning, inclusion, exclusion, cycle time, installation parall...

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...

The RMG industries play a major role in the economic development of Bangladesh. However, current business environment, like every other country all over world, this sector also faces some troubles related to resource constraints time, cost, materials, etc. So, ensure sustainability and competitiveness Bangladesh, productivity improvement becomes key factor. For reason, research aims measure imp...

We address the balancing problem of transfer lines in this paper to find the optimal line balancing that minimizes the nonproductive time. We focus on the tool change time and face orientation change time both of which influence the makespane. We consider machine capacity limitations and technological constraints associated with the manufacturing process of auto cylinder heads. The problem is r...

Mixed-model assembly lines are increasingly accepted in many industrial environments to meet the growing trend of greater product variability, diversification of customer demands, and shorter life cycles. In this research, a new mathematical model is presented considering balancing a mixed-model U-line and human-related issues, simultaneously. The objective function consists of two separate com...
