Binary integer formulation for mixed-model assembly line balancing problem

TL;DR: To ease communication between researchers and practitioners, a classification scheme of assembly line balancing is provided, which is a valuable step in identifying remaining research challenges which might contribute to closing the gap.

TL;DR: A survey of assembly line balancing problems can be found in this paper, where the authors survey the developments in GALBP research and present a survey of the most common approaches to the problem.

TL;DR: In this paper, a classification scheme of assembly line balancing problems is proposed to ease communication between researchers and practitioners, and a valuable step in identifying remaining research challenges which might contribute to closing the gap between requirements of real configuration problems and the status of research.

TL;DR: A review of the state of the art research in the areas of assembly system design, planning and operations in the presence of product variety is presented in this article, where methods for assembly representation, sequence generation and assembly line balancing are reviewed and summarized.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a comprehensive review and analysis of the assembly line balancing literature at both the strategic and tactical levels, focusing on qualitative and quantitative factors that could impact the design, balancing and scheduling of assembly systems.

TL;DR: The purpose of the present paper is to set forth an enumeration procedure for solving one of the problems concerned with setting up production lines and to clarify the assumptions in its statement.

TL;DR: Linear-programming solutions to the assembly-line balancing problem are offered in two forms: integer and linear programming as discussed by the authors. But these solutions depend on work recently presented on integer solutions to linear programming problems.

TL;DR: In this paper, the integrated production control system which shortens the period from ordering, order acceptance, production, and up to delivery and reduce the labor of each department is presented, where order information is automatically generated according to the stock information and sent in on-line mode to a producer-side order acceptance assisting device 20.
