This paper provides a literature review and an analysis of the studies related to workforce
reconfiguration strategies as a part of workforce planning for various production …

In this paper, we present the existing literature on the human resource allocation problem.
We study the main resolution approaches: exact, heuristic and metaheuristics methods …

Workers still perform the bulk of operations in the manufacturing industry. The consideration
of the assignment of workers and the reduction of ergonomic risks in U-shaped assembly …

In this paper, we studied the assembly line worker assignment and balancing problem,
which is an extension of the classical assembly line balancing problem in which an optimal …

In traditional assembly lines, it is reasonable to assume that task execution times are the
same for each worker. However, in Sheltered Work Centres for Disabled this assumption is …

In this study, we consider the assembly line worker assignment and balancing problem of
type-II (ALWABP-2). ALWABP-2 arises when task times differ depending on operator skills …

Certain types of manufacturing processes can be modelled by assembly line balancing
problems. In this work we deal with a specific assembly line balancing problem that is known …

In robotic assembly lines, the task times depend on the robots assigned to each station.
Robots are considered an unlimited resource and multiple robots of the same type can be …

This paper proposes a new type of assembly line worker assignment and balancing problem
(ALWABP) which considers ergonomic risks. ALWABP occurs when task times vary …

Consideration is given to the assembly line balancing problem (ALBP) in production lines
employed collaborative robots. Human–robot collaboration promises high advantages in …
