Assembly line production is one of the widely used production systems. The problem of Assembly Line Balancing deals with the distribution of activities among the workstations which lead to the maximum utilization of Human Resources and facilities without disturbing the work sequence. The problem is motivated by a vehicle-sequencing problem at an Automobile company, Gurugram. A new Heuristic Met...

In practice, vagueness and impreciseness of the goals in multi-objective mixed model assembly line make the decisionmaking a complex task. To limit the influences of the decision makers’ incomplete knowledge about the problem and help them to concentrate better on evaluating a conceived solution, a novel interactive fuzzy goal programming (IFGP) algorithm is proposed. The algorithm controls the...

Due to the variety of products, simultaneous production of different models has an important role in production systems. Moreover, considering the realistic constraints in designing production lines attracted a lot of attentions in recent researches. Since the assembly line balancing problem is NP-hard, efficient methods are needed to solve this kind of problems. In this study, a new hybrid met...
