Mass production system design is a key for the productivity of an organization. Mass
production system can be classified into production line machining a component and …

This paper presents a mixed-model sequencing problem with stochastic processing times
(MMSPSP) in a multi-station assembly line. A new mixed-integer nonlinear programing …

In advanced manufacturing, optimizing mixed-model synchronous assembly lines (MMALs)
is crucial for enhancing productivity and adhering to sustainability principles, particularly in …

Abstract Assembly Lines (ALs) are used for mass production as they offer lots of advantages
over other production systems in terms of lead time and cost. The advent of mass …

Typical problems in production systems are suboptimal production scheduling, long
manufacturing lead times, inefficient inventory control, low work center utilization, etc. The …

In order to increase flexibility and reduce costs, several companies adopt mixed-model
assembly lines whose output products are variations of the same basic model with specific …

Natural disasters, pandemics, and political nationalism force companies toward more
responsive, flexible, and resilient assembly systems. For manufacturers, adaptability of the …

We address an integrated problem of car sequencing on an automotive mixed-model
assembly line and multi-trip vehicle routing for external sync-part supply. The sync-parts …

Despite many pioneering efforts and works over the past decades, stochastic events have
not been studied extensively in mixed-model assembly lines thus far. For a mixed-model …

Customer satisfaction and focusing on the most profitable customers are the key elements to
achieving a sustainable competitive advantage in the current business environment. The …
