In the research on production economics, line balancing is an intensively studied
combinatorial optimisation problem. In our previous comprehensive survey on line …

The concept of reconfigurable manufacturing systems (RMSs) is a current subject that has
attracted intensive research. This latter covers the entire RMS life cycle, from the design to …

In manual assembly systems, workers' differences in terms of skills, level of expertise and
perceived physical effort largely affect the assembly line balancing and system performance …

Successful operation of an assembly line requires balancing work among resources and
stations of the line to minimize costs, a problem known as the Assembly Line Balancing …

The assembly line balancing problem arises from equally dividing the workload among all
workstations. Several solution methods explore different variants of the problem, but no …

In this paper, a mathematical model and an improved imperial competition algorithm (IICA)
are proposed to solve the multi-objective two-sided assembly line rebalancing problem with …

In real life, some situations such as demand fluctuations, changes in product structure, and
workstation failures affect the existing balance of assembly lines, resulting in the need for …

This paper recommends a new kind of assembly line rebalancing and worker assignment
problem, taking ergonomic risks into account. Assembly line rebalancing problem (ALRBP) …

Assembly line balancing is important for the efficiency of the assembly process, however, a
wide range of disruptions can break the current workload balance. Some researchers …

This article deals with a real-life multi-objective two-sided assembly line rebalancing
problem (MTALRBP) with modifications of production demand, line's structure and …
