Mass customization plays a significant role for customer satisfaction and for reaching global markets in today's highly competitive changing world. However, customization brings companies extra costs because of the different tasks and scheduling and/or manufacturing issues of model variations. Companies in the manufacturing industry are in a pursuit of reducing their costs whilst increasing their...
A common assumption in the literature on mixed model assembly line balancing problem is that the task duration is known and deterministic but may differ among various models. In this paper, we present a robust optimization formulation for dealing with task duration uncertainty in a mixed model assembly line balancing problem (RMALB-P) in which task duration can vary in a specific range. RMALB-P is...
Increasing flexibility, reducing failure sensitivity, increasing productivity and balancing production lines (systems) are considered as critical factors for enabling competitiveness in manufacturing industry. Parallel assembly lines are proposed as alternative system configurations for improved production recently. This paper is focused on balancing parallel assembly lines which are very advantageous...
