Parallel Walking-Worker Flexible Assembly Lines for High-Mix Low-Volume Demand

An Integrated Design Support Methodology for Walking Worker Assembly Lines

A traditional assembly system-fixed worker line (FW) designed by assigning one operator to each workstation performing an assembly task at that workstation on the line, has some deficiencies, such as low flexibility, constant demand and difficult balancing. A walking-worker line (WW), with an assembly worker travelling with the work along the line, has several advantages over a traditional line...

Multi-objective balancing of Parallel Mixed-Model assembly lines by Considering Machine and Worker Constraints

Assembly line balancing has been a focus of interest to academics in operation management for the last decades. Despite diverse research works in this field, many problems still remained unsolved. Given the importance and attractiveness of the mixed product parallel lines balancing problem and the importance of the human factor in the development process and also very few studies in relation to...
