Line balancing belongs to a class of intensively studied combinatorial optimization problems
known to be NP-hard in general. For several decades, the core problem originally …

Assembly line balancing is to know how tasks are to be assigned to workstations, so that the
predetermined goal is achieved. Minimization of the number of workstations and …

This paper addresses multi-objective (MO) optimization of a single-model assembly line
balancing problem (ALBP) where the operation times of tasks are unknown variables and …

One of the major activities performed in product recovery is disassembly. Disassembly line is
the most suitable setting to disassemble a product. Therefore, designing and balancing …

Assembly lines (conveyors) are traditional means of large-scale and mass-scale
productions. An assembly line balancing problem is needed for optimizing the assembly …

This paper deals with multi-objective optimization of a single-model stochastic assembly line
balancing problem with parallel stations. The objectives are as follows:(1) minimization of …

In real-world assembly lines, that the size of the product is large (eg, automotive industry),
usually there are multi-manned workstations where a group of workers simultaneously …

Exact methods have shown advanced and promising performance in solving the simple
assembly line balancing problem, known as NP-hard. This research investigates the impact …

The degradation of the environment, caused in part by end of life and end of used products,
necessitates the set-up of recovery networks. These networks may be owned by the …

Assembly line balancing problems with multi-manned workstations usually occur in plants
producing high volume products (eg automotive industry) in which the size of the product is …
