Modeling and Optimization of Assembly Line Balancing Type 2 and E (SLBP-2E) for a Reconfigurable Manufacturing System

This study undertakes the line balancing problem while allocating reconfigurable machines to different workstations. A multi-objective model is used analyze position of workstations, assignment configurations and operation scheduling in a manufacturing environment. presented that comprises objectives Total Time (TT), Line Efficiency Index (LEI), Customer Satisfaction (CSI). The objective minimize completion time maximize efficiency production line. proposed combines Simple Balancing Problems Type 2 E form SLBP-2E. problems are addressed by using heuristic solution approach due non-polynomial hard formulation. designed assess solutions based on no repositioning, separate repositioning workstations configuration, simultaneous configurations. detailed assessment regarding as well effectiveness approaches. Finally, conclusions future research avenues outlined.
