Ant Algorithms for Assembly Line Balancing

2002
The present work is focused on the assembly line balancing design problems whose objective is to minimize the number of stations needed to manufacture a product in a line given a fixed cycle time, equivalent to a fixed production rate. The problem is solved using an ACO metaheuristic implementation with different features, obtaining good results ...

On Dynamic Programming Methods for Assembly Line Balancing

Operations Research, 1982
Two dynamic programming approaches for treating sequencing problems—one proposed by Schrage and Baker and the other by Lawler—are discussed in the context of an assembly line balancing problem. A variant of the Schrage-Baker method is proposed to extend its range of applicability.

An integrated Approach for Assembly Line Balancing Problems

Software Engineering and Applications/ 831: Advances in Power and Energy Systems, 2015
In industrial plants, it is important to ensure a balanced allocation of the operations among workstations. Overloaded workstations (bottlenecks) rather than shortly saturated ones can affect the performance of the whole line in terms of production, whose speed often depends on the slowest station.

Balancing assembly lines: an industrial case study

Journal of the Operational Research Society, 2004
Summary: This paper presents a case study where a practical balancing problem for an assembly line of appliances with two sides and two different heights is solved with an enhanced priority-based heuristic. We show how to adapt such heuristic to account for the practical aspects of industrial applications.

Assembly-Line Balancing by Linear Programming

Operations Research, 1960
Linear-programming solutions to the assembly-line balancing problem are offered in two forms. Feasible solutions depend on work recently presented on integer solutions to linear-programming problems. As yet, the computation involved for a practical problem would be quite large.

Balancing Stochastic Assembly Lines

A I I E Transactions, 1973
Abstract This paper is concerned with balancing continuous assembly lines with stochastic work elements, The primary problem is defined as follows: “Given an initial balance, a cycle time, normally distributed work element times with given means and variances, and a precedence graph, rearrange the work elements such that the probability of one or more ...

A HEURISTIC FOR ASSEMBLY AND DISASSEMBLY LINE BALANCING

IFAC Proceedings Volumes, 2007
Abstract This paper deals with simple assembly/disassembly line balancing problems. We developed a heuristic algorithm for estimating the minimum number of workstations at a given cycle time. Although heuristic, the algorithm enables the search for exact solutions of balancing problems of intermediate size.
