Abstract Nowadays, end customers require personalized products to match their specific needs. Thus, production systems must be extremely flexible. Companies typically exploit assembly lines manufacture produces in great volumes. The development of distinguished by mixed or multi models increases flexibility concerning the number product variants able manufactured. However, few scientific contri...

Abstract The aim of this work is to enable a step towards self-adapting digital toolset for manufacturing planning focusing on minimally constrained assembly line balancing. approach includes the simultaneous definition optimum number workstations, cycle time and assignment tasks workstations. A bespoke genetic algorithm (GENALSAS) proposed demonstrated which focuses examining simple balancing ...
