Assembly line balancing with parallel workstations
International Journal of Production Research, 2020The simple assembly line balancing problem (SALBP) considers work division among different workstations of a serially arranged assembly process to maximise its efficiency under workload (cumulative...

A goal approach to assembly line balancing
Computers & Operations Research, 1990The problem considered is one of assembly line balancing. The authors introduce a new model of the problem which allows for the flexibility to simultaneously consider variations in cycle time, number of workstations, zoning constraints, idle time and cost.

On Assembly-Line Balancing Problems
Operations Research, 1969This paper considers three kinds of assembly-line disciplines: assembly lines without parallel subassemblies, lines with parallel subassemblies, and single-product assembly lines. To each such discipline there corresponds a line balancing problem. For the second and third disciplines, feasible (but not necessarily optimal) balances are characterized ...

Bounds for Assembly Line Balancing Heuristics
Operations Research, 1985We analyze the asymptotic worst-case performance ratio of polynomial time heuristics for the assembly line balancing problem. Assuming that P ≠ NP, we show that no polynomial heuristic has worst-case ratio less than 1.5. (This ratio is known to be not worse than 2 for any “reasonable” heuristic.) Tighter results are established for problems with only ...

Assembly line balancing is a hard problem concerned with the assignment of individual work elements or tasks to workstations so as to minimize the assembly cost as much as possible. Decisions associated with line balancing have a direct influence on the costs of production.

Operations Research, 1963
This paper gives a simple method for finding an optimal assignment of operations to work stations when the order of operations is specified. It is shown that the problem with a specific ordering can be formulated as an assignment problem or as a shortest-route problem for which an inspection-type solution is available.

Assembly line balancing in garment industry
Expert Systems with Applications, 2012Garment manufacturing is a traditional industry with global competition. The most critical manufacturing process is sewing, as it generally involves a great number of operations. The aim of assembly line balance planning in sewing lines is to assign tasks to the workstations, so that the machines of the workstation can perform the assigned tasks with a
