Quality Estimation of Assembly Line Balance
نویسنده
چکیده
In the paper authors discuss the quality estimation of assembly line balancing problem. Task are assigned to workstations and the calculated measures show the quality of the final results. Because even optimal solutions contain idle times, the estimation of quality of end results is very important. In the literature we can find different measures but the most useful are: line efficiency, smoothness index and time of the line. Authors present in the paper the difference between cycle time and maximum station time. Misunderstanding of these values leads to wrong estimation of quality of assembly line balancing problem. To understand better the problem a numerical example is discussed. Key-Words: assembly line balancing problem, heuristics, line efficiency, smoothness index, time of the line
