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 …

This paper presents a comprehensive review and evaluation of heuristics and meta-
heuristics for the two-sided assembly line balancing problem. Though a few reviews have …

Assembly line balancing (ALB) is concerned with assigning tasks within an assembly line to
meet the required production rate for optimization purposes. On the other hand, two-sided …

The buffer allocation problem (BAP) and the assembly line balancing problem (ALBP) are
amongst the most studied problems in the literature on production systems. However they …

In this paper, we introduce a new assembly line balancing problem in which tasks differ with
respect to their qualification requirements and the qualification levels of workers are ranked …

Remanufacturing prolongs the life cycle and increases the residual value of various end-of-
life (EoL) products. As an inevitable process in remanufacturing, disassembly plays an …

Robots are extensively used during the era of Industry 4.0 to achieve high productivity, better
quality and lower cost. While designing a robotic assembly line, production managers are …

To achieve sustainable manufacturing of large-scale end-of-life products, disassembly for
recycling and remanufacturing has been widely adopted by industries. Disassembly line …

This study presents an approach to solving the assembly line balancing problem (ALBP)
using the Methods-Time Measurement (MTM) time standard and simulation software. ALBP …

Two-sided assembly line is often designed to produce large-sized high-volume products
such as cars, trucks and engineering machinery. However, in real-life production process …
