An empirical comparison of improvement heuristics for the mixed-model U-line balancing problem
Mixed-model assembly lines often create model imbalance due to differences in task times for the different product models. Smoothing algorithms guided by meta-heuristics that can escape local optimums can be used to reduce model imbalance. In this research we utilize the metaheuristics tabu search (TS), the great deluge algorithm (GDA) and record-to-record travel (RTR) to reduce three objective...
متن کامل‘BALANCING AND SEQUENCING’ VERSUS ‘ONLY BALANCING’ IN MIXED MODEL U-LINE ASSEMBLY SYSTEMS: AN ECONOMIC ANALYSIS
With the growth in customers’ demand diversification, mixed-model U-lines (MMUL) have acquired increasing importance in the area of assembly systems. There are generally two different approaches in the literature for balancing such systems. Some researchers believe that since the types of models can be very diverse, a balancing approach without simultaneously sequencing of models will not yield...

متن کاملThe mixed and multi model line balancing problem: a comparison
This paper gives a review of the literature on the mixed and the multi model line balancing problem. Compared with the single model line little attention has been paid to the mixed and the multi model line balancing problem. The mixed model line balancing problem can be subdivided into two related problems. The balancing problem deals with the assignment of work elements to work stations. The s...
