The considered optimization problem deals with the design of the machine equipment used in a serial paced line. The cost and effectiveness of such a line depend on this decision. The investment cost can be reduced by optimizing the assignment of machining operations to the pieces of equipment. In this paper, new powerful metaheuristic methods applying the principles of a greedy randomized adaptive...
Transfer line balancing problems (TLBP) deal with the optimization of serial machining lines. At every machine, the operations are performed by blocks. The operations within each block are executed simultaneously by the same multi-spindle head. In the lines considered here, the spindle heads of each machine are activated sequentially. The objective of TLBP is to group the operations into blocks and...
A new method to search best parameters of a transfer line so that the cost of each manufactured part will be minimised. The synchronised transfer lines with parallel machining are considered. Such lines are widely used in mass and large-scale mechanical production. The objective is to minimise the line life cycle cost per part under the given productivity and technological constraints. The design...
