We offer a solution approach for profit-oriented disassembly line balancing problem in hybrid lines with stochastic task times. When task times are stochastic, there is a probability that some of the tasks are not completed within the predefined cycle time. For task incompletions, the most commonly used remedial actions are stopping the line or offline repairs. Stopping the line is to stop the line until the incomplete tasks are completed, while in offline repair, incomplete tasks are completed in an offline area after the workpiece leaves the line. In a hybrid line, both of the remedial actions are implemented for two task classes: (F)inish and (P)ass tasks. The classification of tasks have significant effect on the costs incurred by line stoppages or offline repairs, which together make up incompletion costs. In this thesis, we propose a greedy algorithm, which makes this classification for a given cycle time and task assignment so as to maximize the expected profit of one product disassembled. We also propose a cost calculation method to calculate expected incompletion costs.

Disassembly line balancing with limited supply and subassembly availability
Altekin, FT; Kandiller, L; Özdemirel, Nur Evin (2003-10-30)
Disassembly line balancing problem (DLBP) aims at finding a feasible assignment of disassembly tasks to workstations such that precedence relations among tasks are satisfied and some measure of effectiveness is optimized. We consider partial disassembly under limited supply of a single product as well as availability of its subassemblies. Hence, in satisfying the demand for revenue generating parts, both discarded products and available subassemblies can be utilized. We assume that part revenues and demand,...
Workload smoothing in assembly lines
İmat, Sadullah; Azizoğlu, Meral; Department of Industrial Engineering (2014)
In this thesis, we consider a simple assembly line balancing problem with fixed number of workstations and predefined cycle time. Our objective is to minimize the sum of the squared deviations of the workstation loads from the cycle time. We first present pure integer nonlinear programming model and then convert the model into mixed integer linear program. We develop several optimality properties and bounding mechanisms, and use them in our branch and bound algorithm. The results of our computational study ...
Dissimilarity maximization method for real-time routing of parts in random flexible manufacturing systems
Saygin, C; Kilic, SE (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2004-04-01)
This paper presents a dissimilarity maximization method (DMM) for real-time routing selection and compares it via simulation with typical priority rules commonly used in scheduling and control of flexible manufacturing systems (FMSs). DMM aims to reduce the congestion in the system by selecting a routing for each part among its alternative routings such that the overall dissimilarity among the selected routings is maximized. In order to evaluate the performance of DMM, a random FMS, where the product mix is...
Collaborative Direction of Arrival estimation by using Alternating Direction Method of Multipliers in distributed sensor array networks employing Sparse Bayesian Learning framework
Nurbas, Ekin; Onat, Emrah; Tuncer, Temel Engin (2022-10-01)
In this paper, we present a new method for Direction of Arrival (DoA) estimation in distributed sensor array networks by using Alternating Direction Method of Multipliers (ADMM) in Sparse Bayesian Learning (SBL) framework. Our proposed method, CDoAE, has certain advantages compared to previous distributed DoA estimation methods. It does not require any special array geometry and there is no need for inter -array frequency and phase matching. CDoAE uses the distributed ADMM to update the parameter set extrac...
