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 …

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 …

Assembly lines are special flow-line production systems which are of great importance in the
industrial production of high quantity standardized commodities. Recently, assembly lines …

Assembly lines are flow-line production systems which are of great importance in the

In this work, we consider a U-type assembly line balancing problem with human–robot
collaboration (UALBP-HRC), in which the collaborative robot (cobot) can either parallelly …

Purpose Although lean popularity is rapidly growing, its implementation is far from problem-
free and companies may experience difficulties in sustaining long-term success. On this …

This paper emphasises the parallel adjacent U-shaped assembly line balancing problem in
which the collaborative work forces in the system comprise human workers and robots. Apart …

An assembly line is a production line in which units move continuously through a sequence
of stations. The assembly line balancing problem is defined as the allocation of tasks to an …

We use 9 years of dynamic panel data (4,090 observations) to explore how decarbonization
moderates the association between a selection of efficiency‐driven shop‐floor initiatives and …

This paper discusses a two stage graph-algorithm, which was designed to solve line
balancing problems including practice relevant constraints (GALBP), such as parallel work …
