Minimizing Utility Time in Mixed-Model Assembly Lines
Journal Title: American journal of Engineering Research - Year 2016, Vol 5, Issue 6
Abstract
A mixed model assembly line is a production line where a variety of product models are produced. Simulated Annealing has attracted considerable attention due to its potential in dealing with difficult optimization problems. The present paper reports on a new approach to applying this method to minimize the total cost of the utility time and idle time incurred due to different line parameters (launch interval, station length, starting point of work, upstream walk) in closed station. The performance of the method is numerically tested on standard problems. Experimentation demonstrates the relative desirable performance of the presented methodology.
