A memetic algorithm for the cost-oriented robotic assembly line balancing problem
(2018)
In order to minimize costs, manufacturing companies have been relying on assembly lines for the mass production of commodity goods. Among other issues, the successful operation of an assembly line requires balancing work ...
Modelling and solving a cost-oriented resource-constrained multi-model assembly line balancing problem
(2018)
A line balancing problem considers the assignment of operations to workstations in an assembly line. While assembly lines are usually associated to mass production of standardised goods, their advantages have led to their ...
Scheduling projects in operating systems: an application on assembly line balancing
(Universidade Tecnológica Federal do ParanáCuritibaBrasilPrograma de Pós-Graduação em Engenharia Elétrica e Informática IndustrialUTFPR, 2017-04-19)
Operations Research investigates the (best) ways to configure and coordinate systems or operations with optimization procedures. Usually, the optimization of a system is modeled based on the aimed final configuration. ...
Designing industrial production layouts: an application on robotic welding assembly lines
(Universidade Tecnológica Federal do ParanáCuritibaBrasilPrograma de Pós-Graduação em Engenharia Elétrica e Informática IndustrialUTFPR, 2017-05-31)
Spot welding assembly lines are widely present in the automotive manufacturing industry. The procedure of building the vehicle’s body employs several robots equipped with spot welding tools. These robots and tools are quite ...
Two extensions for the ALWABP: Parallel stations and collaborative approach
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BVAMSTERDAM, 2012-11)
In this article, we introduce two new variants of the Assembly Line Worker Assignment and Balancing Problem (ALWABP) that allow parallelization of and collaboration between heterogeneous workers. These new approaches suppose ...
The robust (minmax regret) assembly line worker assignment and balancing problem
(2018)
Line balancing aims to assign the assembly tasks to the stations that compose the assembly line. A recent body of literature has been devoted to heterogeneity in the assembly process introduced by different workers. In ...
