This paper presents a comprehensive review and evaluation of heuristics and meta-
heuristics for the two-sided assembly line balancing problem. Though a few reviews have …

Assembly line balancing (ALB) is concerned with assigning tasks within an assembly line to
meet the required production rate for optimization purposes. On the other hand, two-sided …

The increasing number of large-scale end-of-life products, such as vehicles and refrigerators
have paid a negative impact on the ecological environment and led to the waste of non …

Two-sided assembly lines are usually utilized to produce large-sized high-volume products.
Recently robots are widely utilized in this line to replace the manual handling and manage …

Robotics are extensively utilized in modern industry to replace human labor and achieve
high automation and flexibility. In order to produce large-size products, two-sided assembly …

There are many factors which affect the performance of a complex production system.
Efficiency of an assembly line is one of the most important of these factors since assembly …

Two-sided assembly lines are usually found in the factories which produce large-sized
products. In most literatures, the task times are assumed to be deterministic while these …

In this work, we consider a mixed-model two-sided assembly line balancing problem for a
given cycle time (MTALBP-I), in which the primary objective is to minimise the number of …

Two-sided robotic assembly lines are employed to assemble large-sized high-volume
products, where robots are allocated to the workstations to perform the tasks and human …

In this paper, a novel stochastic two-sided U-type assembly line balancing (STUALB)
procedure, an algorithm based on the genetic algorithm and a heuristic priority rule-based …
