Balancing of parallel U-shaped assembly lines
A new hybrid assembly line design, called Parallel U-shaped Assembly Line system, is introduced and characterised along with numerical examples for the first time. Different from existing studies on U-shaped lines, we combine the advantages of two individual line configurations (namely parallel lines and U-shaped lines) and create an opportunity for assigning tasks to multi-line workstations lo...
متن کاملA heuristic approach for U-shaped assembly line balancing to improve labor productivity
The assembly line balancing problem is a non deterministic polynomial type planning problem for mass production. Layout design changes constitute a major decision that yields investment for assembly operations and numerous heuristics have been reported in the literature for solving the line balancing problems. U-shaped assembly layout offers several benefits over traditional straight-line layou...
متن کاملBalancing parallel assembly lines with disabled workers
In this paper we study an assembly line balancing problem that occurs in sheltered worker centers for the disabled, where workers with very different characteristics are present. We are interested in the situation in which complete parallel assembly lines are allowed and name the resulting problem as parallel assembly line worker assignment and balancing problem (PALWABP). This approach enables...
متن کاملBand Pass Filter Using U-shaped strips with T-shaped Feed Lines
A band pass filter with tilted ladder shaped patch and U-shaped geometries is proposed in this paper. Feed are connected at the end of open ended stubs. Presented filter is suitable for the application of wireless application in L-band range. A flat passband response can be achieved when it is employed to implement a bandpass filter. The resonator also exhibits attenuation poles close to the ed...
متن کاملOn U-shaped Assembly Line Worker Allocation Problems
The one-piece flow manufacturing line of single and customized products is usually organized as a U-shaped assembly layout. In this study, the characteristics of a single U-line are described and modeled. The worker allocation problem is hierarchically concerned with the task assignment into a U-line and allocate task to workers in sequence. Several products are assembled in 7-task to 297-task ...
