A Cutting Plane Approach for the Single-Product Assembly System Design Problem
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper evaluates a new branch-and-cut approach, establishing a computational benchmark for the single-product, assembly system design (SPASD) problem. Our approach, which includes a heuristic, preprocessing, and two cut-generating methods, outperformed OSL in solving a set of 102 instances of the SPASD problem. The approach is robust; test problems show that it can be applied to variations of the generic SPASD problem that we encountered in industry.

In this paper, an analytical approach is used for assembly line rebalancing and worker assignment for single and mixed-model assembly lines based on a heuristic-simulation algorithm. This approach helps to managers to select a better marketing strategy when different combinations of demands are suitable.Furthermore, they can use it as a guideline to know which worker assignment is better for ea...
متن کاملA cost-oriented model for multi-manned assembly line balancing problem
In many real world assembly line systems which the work-piece is of large size more than one worker work on the same work-piece in each station. This type of assembly line is called multi-manned assembly line (MAL). In the classical multi-manned assembly line balancing problem (MALBP) the objective is to minimize the manpower needed to manufacture one product unit. Apart from the manpower, othe...
متن کاملAssembly System Design: a Branch and Cut Approach
This paper addresses the single-product assembly system design problem (ASDP) which seeks to minimize total cost by optimally integrating design (selecting the machine type to locate at each activated station) and operating issues (assigning tasks to observe precedence relationships and cycle time restrictions). We propose an effective branch-and-cut approach for solving single-product ASDPs, a...
متن کاملOptimisation of assembly scheduling in VCIM systems using genetic algorithm
Assembly plays an important role in any production system as it constitutes a significant portion of the lead time and cost of a product. Virtual computer-integrated manufacturing (VCIM) system is a modern production system being conceptually developed to extend the application of traditional computer-integrated manufacturing (CIM) system to global level. Assembly scheduling in VCIM systems is ...

This paper considers a two-stage assembly flow shop scheduling problem. When all parts of each product are completed in the first stage, they are assembled into a final product on an assembly machine in the second stage. In order to reduce the delivery cost, completed products can be held until completion of some other products to be delivered in a same batch. The proposed problem addresses sch...
