文摘

Assembly line is a sequential work flow production systems which are still typical in the mass production of standard products. In mixed model assembly line system, it can produce the production sequentially by mixing more than one product on the same line. Different range of products are produced on the same line are quiet similar to the main product

This paper proposes an approach to the mixed model assembly line balancing problem (MALBP) with parallel workstations. Different methods are developed to solve assembly line balancing problems. The existing methods to solve assembly line balancing problem cannot be applied to combinatorial type problems. When we use heuristics methods for a combinatorial type problem which has more number of work elements, it may not give an optimal solution and become tedious. So this paper is aimed to propose a method to solve such type of complex line balancing problems.
