Literature Review on Assembly Line Balancing Under Uncertainty
The literature on the assembly line balancing problem under various forms of uncertainty is explored in this chapter.
Design and Operation of Assembly Lines
In this chapter, assembly lines are introduced and described comparing their features to other production layout organizations. The contextual characteristics of the automotive …
Decomposition approach for integrated production scheduling and maintenance planning on parallel machines

Controlling Production Sequences Using Buffers
In the previous two chapters, both extreme assumptions on sequence control are dealt with for the balancing problem of mixed-model assembly lines. In Chapter 4, it is assumed that …
Balancing Under No Sequencing Control
In this chapter, the assembly-line balancing is optimized for a production line under a random sequence of products. In contrast to Chapter 4, in which the models can be scheduled …
Balancing Under Full Sequencing Control
In this chapter, a solution method for the assembly-line balancing under demand uncertainty is proposed. The project is included in Sikora [2021], which is published in the …
