Using a LP model for the design analysis of an integrated renewable energy system
In this paper, the optimal design of an integrated energy system (biomass, solar, wind and water) is approached by the perspective of linear programming (LP) modeling. A model that …

Implementing Changes in the Balancing of Assembly Lines: a Sequencing Problem Addressed by MILP
The productivity levels of an assembly line are intimately tied to the balancing quality of the workstations. Several optimization methods focus on finding the best balancing …
Buffer and cyclical product sequence aware assembly line balancing problem: Model and steady-state balancing case study
Mixed model flow-shops often operate cyclically and may have buffers to absorb differences between product models. Balancing task distributions in regard to such aspects is …

Variable Sets Reduction for Assembly Line Balancing Problem: MILP Model and Case Studies
Line balancing problems consist on assigning tasks to stations and/or workers in a restricted way. Most models deal with simple versions of this problem not taking into account …
Genetic algorithm for type-2 assembly line balancing
The assembly line balancing problem (ALBP) consists in finding the best assignment of tasks between several workstations. An evenly distribution reduces idle time and therefore …
