Assembly Line Balancing with Task Paralleling Kaplan, Özlem; Özdemirel, Nur Evin; Department of Industrial Engineering (2004) In this study, we consider single model deterministic Assembly Line Balancing problem with task paralleling. The objective is to minimize the total cost which is composed of station opening cost and task dependent equipment cost. A branch and bound algorithm that allows two-level task paralleling is proposed. A heuristic algorithm is also developed both for obtaining efficient upper bounds to branch and bound and for achieving good approximate solutions for large sized problems. Computational experiments ar...
Assembly line balancing with multi-manned tasks Esin, Ceyhan Erdem; Kırca, Ömer; Department of Industrial Engineering (2007) In this thesis, we define a new problem area for assembly lines. In the literature, there are various studies on assembly line balancing, but none of them consider multi-manned tasks, task to which at least two operators have to be assigned. Two mathematical models and one constraint programming model are developed for both Type-I and Type-II ALB problems. The objective of Type-I problem is to minimize the number of stations whereas the objective of Type-II problem is to minimize the cycle time. In addition...
Assembly line balancing with station paralleling Ege, Yunus; Azizoğlu, Meral; Özdemirel, Nur Evin; Department of Industrial Engineering (2001)
Assembly line balancing with station paralleling Ege, Yunus; Azizoğlu, Meral; Özdemirel, Nur Evin (2009-11-01) We consider the NP-hard problem of assembly line balancing with station paralleling. We assume an arbitrary number of parallel workstations can be assigned to each stage. Every task requires a specified tooling/equipment, and this tooling/equipment should be available in all parallel workstations of the stage to which the task is assigned. Our objective is to find an assignment of tasks to stages so as to minimize sum of station opening and tooling/equipment costs. We propose two branch and bound algorithms...
