1. 16. Assembly Line Balancing : Addressing the Theory-Practice Gap

   University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för system- och rymdteknik

   Author : Christoffer Fink; [2023]
   Keywords : assembly line balancing; ALB; OptaPlanner;

   Abstract : The efficiency of an assembly line depends on how the different tasks are distributed among the work stations that make up the assembly line. Assigning the tasks to the stations is called assembly line balancing (ALB) and is an NP-hard optimization problem. READ MORE
