This book was released on 1971 with total page 462 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Line balancing is concerned with the optimal assignment of work elements to individual operators in an assembly tine of a mass producing system. This paper summarizes the assembly line balancing terminology, the computational methods, and objective functions applicable to a wide variety of assembly lines. Single and mixed-model situations for both constant and variable work element times are examined. A Back Tracking Method of Assembly Line Balancing (BALB) is developed and programmed in FORTRAN IV. BALB, as a manual procedure was able to find an optimal solution to problems that other existing methods such as Helgeson and Birnie's positional weight technique, could not yield. In general, BALB was also found to be simple and more efficient than the heuristic methods by Tonge, Hoffman, Mansoor and Arcus. The computer program, *BALB, accepts data for both single and mixed-model ALB problems and considers both constant and variable work element times. This program uses production shift time as the criterion for balancing the mixed-model lines. Numerical examples are used throughout the paper to illustrate the steps of various methods.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 537 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: by Conference Chairman n1 It is my pleasure to introduce this volume of Proceedings for the 33 MATADOR Conference. The Proceedings include 83 refereed papers submitted from 19 countries on 4 continents. 00 The spread of papers in this volume reflects four developments since the 32 MATADOR Conference in 1997: (i) the power of information technology to integrate the management and control of manufacturing systems; (ii) international manufacturing enterprises; (iii) the use of computers to integrate different aspects of manufacturing technology; and, (iv) new manufacturing technologies. New developments in the manufacturing systems area are globalisation and the use of the Web to achieve virtual enterprises. In manufacturing technology the potential of the following processes is being realised: rapid proto typing, laser processing, high-speed machining, and high-speed machine tool design. And, at the same time in the area of controls and automation, the flexibility and integration ability of open architecture computer controllers are creating a wide range of opportunities for novel solutions. Up-to-date research results in these and other areas are presented in this volume. The Proceedings reflect the truly international nature of this Conference and the way in which original research results are both collected and disseminated. The volume does not, however, record the rich debate and extensive scientific discussion which took place during the Conference. I trust that you will find this volume to be a permanent record of some of the research carried out in the last two years; and.

Download or read book Balancing and Sequencing of Assembly Lines written by Armin Scholl and published by Physica. This book was released on 1999-02-26 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book deals with two main decision problems which arise when flow-line production systems are installed and operated. The assembly line balancing problem consists of partitioning the work, necessary to assemble the product(s), among different stations of an assembly line. If several models of a product are jointly processed on a line, this medium-term problem is connected with the short-term problem of determining an operating sequence of the models. In Part I balancing and sequencing problems are discussed, classified, and arranged within a hierarchical planning system. In the present second edition special emphasis is given to u-shaped assembly lines which are important components of modern just-in-time production systems. Part II is concerned with exact and heuristic procedures for solving those decision problems. For each problem type considered, a survey of existing procedures is given and new efficient solution methods are developed. Comprehensive numerical investigations showing the effectiveness of the new methods and their superiority over existing approaches are reported.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Assembly line has been widely used in producing complex items, such as automobiles and other transportation equipment, household appliances and electronic goods. Assembly line balancing is to maximize the efficiency of the assembly line so that the optimal production rate or optimal length of the line is obtained. Since the 1950s there has been a plethora of research studies focusing on the methodologies for assembly line balancing. Methods and algorithms were developed to balance an assembly line, which is operated by human workers, in a fast and efficient fashion. However, more and more assembly lines are incorporating automation in the design of the line, and in that case the line balancing problem structure is altered. For these automated assembly lines, novel algorithms are provided in this dissertation to efficiently solve the automated line balancing problem when the assembly line includes learning automata. Recent studies show that the task time can be improved during production due to machine learning, which gives the opportunities to rebalance the assembly line as the improvements occur and are observed. The concept of assembly line rebalancing or task reassignment are crucial for the assembly which is designed for small volume production because of the demand variation and rapid innovation of new product. In this dissertation, two forms of rebalancing are provided, forward planning and real time adjustment. The first one is to develop a planning schedule before production begins given the task time improvement is deterministic. The second one is to rebalance the line after the improvements are realized given the task time improvement is random. Algorithms address one sided and two sided assembly lines are proposed. Computation experiments are performed in order to test the performance of the novel algorithms and empirically validate the merit of improvement of production statistics.
