An assembly line is a flow-oriented production system in which the productive units performing the operations, referred to as stations, are aligned in a serial manner. The simple assembly line balancing problem (SALBP) is a fundamental version of the general problem which has attracted attention of researchers and practitioners of operations research for almost half a century. With respect to the objective function, the SALBP is further classified into SALBP-1, SALBP-2, SALBP-E and finally SALBP-F. The types of SALBP may be complemented by a secondary objective which consists of smoothing station loads. This objective guarantees a better flow of material. |
