Tasks Allocation Based on Fuzzy Rules in Fractional Assembly Line with Redundancy

In recent years, assembly line design methodologies have included the possibility of sharing tasks between stations. These approaches increase throughput, improving workload balance among Sharing operations can support management lines with task redundancy. The redundancy two consecutive stations improves robustness to unforeseen events. A control policy that allocates shared adjacent is crucial for performance line. This paper proposes a fuzzy approach distributing model allows distribution in more gradual way. Simulations were conducted allow evaluation proposed literature. results show how all measures evaluated; particular, when inter-arrival raw items rather stable. these conditions, reduction average time and its standard deviation about 50% 80%, while work process 60% 90%. benefits are obtained relevant variations utilization
