Title
Optimal workforce assignment to operations of a paced assembly line.
Abstract
•A paced line is designed to assemble different types of products in large series.•Workers can move among stations to adapt workstation capacities to workloads.•The problem is to minimize the total number of workers employed at the line.•Computational complexity for various special cases of the problem is established.•Heuristics and integer linear programs are developed, numerical tests are reported.
