The general practice in mixed model assembly line balancing is to assign work to stations in a manner that each station has an equal amount of work on a daily or shift basis. This paper shows how a ...

A simple, fast and effective heuristic for the Simple Assembly Line Balancing Type I problem (minimizing the number of workstations) is proposed. A fast and effective branch-and-bound algorithm, which ...

Assembly line systems form the backbone of modern manufacturing, and the optimisation of their balancing and sequencing is critical to achieving enhanced productivity, reduced costs, and improved ...
