Beam-ACO Applied to Assembly Line Balancing [PDF]
Assembly line balancing concerns the design of assembly lines for the manufacturing of products. In this paper we consider the time and space constrained simple assembly line balancing problem with the objective of minimizing the number of necessary work stations. This problem is denoted by TSALBP-1 in the literature.

An integrated representation scheme for assembly sequence planning and assembly line balancing [PDF]
In a typical assembly optimisation, Assembly Sequence Planning and Assembly Line Balancing are performed independently. However, competition has compelled the manufacturer to innovate by integrating the optimisation of both problems. To incorporate ASP

Solving Mixed-Model Assembly Lines Using a Hybrid of Ant Colony Optimization and Greedy Algorithm [PDF]
The assembly line balancing problem deals with the assignment of tasks to work stations. Mixed-model assembly line problem is a type of assembly line balancing problem at which two or more models of the same product are assembled sequentially at the same

Assembly line balancing with station paralleling [PDF]
We consider the NP-hard problem of assembly line balancing with station paralleling. We assume an arbitrary number of parallel workstations can be assigned to each stage. Every task requires a specified tooling/equipment, and this tooling/equipment should be available in all parallel workstations of the stage to which the task is assigned.
