Abstract EN
In a multi-manned assembly line, tasks of the same workpiece can be executed simultaneously by different workers working in the same station.
This line has significant advantages over a simple assembly line such as shorter line length, less work-in-process, smaller installation space, and less product flow time.
In many realistic line balancing situations, there are usually more than one objective conflicting with each other.
This paper presents a preemptive goal programming model and some heuristic methods based on variable neighborhood search approach for multi-objective assembly line balancing problems with multi-manned stations.
Three different objectives are considered, minimizing the total number of multi-manned stations as the primary objective, minimizing the total number of workers as the secondary objective, and smoothing the number of workers at stations as the tertiary objective.
A set of test instances taken from the literature is solved to compare the performance of all methods, and results are presented.
