Assembly line balancing is to know how tasks are to be assigned to workstations, so that the
predetermined goal is achieved. Minimization of the number of workstations and …

Motivated by recent developments to deploy collaborative robots in industrial production
systems, we investigate the assembly line balancing problem with collaborative robots. The …

In the design phase of assembly lines, the harmonization of the frequently conflicting
ergonomic and economic objectives is particularly important to enable both humane and …

In practical assembly enterprises, customization and rush orders lead to an uncertain
demand environment. This situation requires managers and researchers to configure an …

Multi-manned assembly lines are often designed to produce big-sized products, such as
automobiles and trucks. In this type of production lines, there are multi-manned workstations …

Industries are incorporating robots into assembly lines due to their greater flexibility and
reduced costs. Most of the reported studies did not consider scheduling of tasks or the …

The global competitive environment leads companies to consider how to produce high-
quality products at a lower cost. Mixed-model assembly lines (MMAL) are often designed …

In this study, we present two new mathematical models for mixed-model assembly line
balancing. The line is semi-automated and characterized by various alternative formats for …

Resource investment and balancing problem of an assembly line with parallel multi-manned
workstations can be defined as the assignment of tasks to reduce the cost of the line, which …

Multi-manned assembly lines are commonly found in industries that manufacture large-size
products (eg automotive industry), in which multiple workers are assigned to the same …
