Title
Minimizing the number of workers in a paced mixed-model assembly line.
Abstract
•An industrial workforce assignment problem is studied.•The problem is proved strongly NP-hard for a special case.•Solution approaches for the general problem are suggested.•Polynomial and pseudo-polynomial algorithms for special cases are developed.•Relations to the Bottleneck Traveling Salesman Problem are discussed.
