Automated robotic assembly line design with unavailability periods and tool changes
(Inderscience Publishers, 2016)We focus on an assembly line design problem of a fully automated robotic spot-welding line. Different from existing studies, we take the prescheduled unavailability periods, such as lunch and tea breaks, into account ... -
Balancing of U-type assembly systems using simulated annealing
(Taylor & Francis, 2001)The paper presents a new simulated annealing (SA)-based algorithm for the assembly line-balancing problem with a U-type con®guration. The proposed algorithm employs an intelligent mechanism to search a large solution space. ... -
Design of a fully automated robotic spot-welding line
(Science and Technology Publications, 2011)The mixed model assembly line design problem includes allocating operations to the stations in the robotic cell and satisfying the demand and cycle time within a desired interval for each model to be produced. We also ... -
A methodology for solving single-model, stochastic assembly line balancing problem
(Pergamon Press, 1999)In this paper, a methodology is developed to solve the single-model, stochastic assembly line balancing problem for the objective of minimizing the total labor cost and the expected incompletion cost arising from tasks not ...
