Optimal sequencing of mixed models with sequence-dependent setups and utility workers on an assembly line

The present results suggest that a mainly right hemispheric network of brain areas—including right TPJ, right FFA, right anterior parietal cortex, right premotor cortex, bilat-

The correlation analysis (Table 2 ) assesses the relationship among the vari- ables related to Organizational Climate and Knowledge Management in the working environment of

For small instances, a benchmark data from the literature is used to compare the performance of the meta-heuristics versus the optimal solution found by the LP approach, based on the

As part of Design For Manufacture and Assembly (DFMA) practices, this indicator will, firstly, be useful for the product designer who needs to integrate the existing

In this paper, we extend the general assembly line balancing problem by design- ing an integrated assembly line and addressing the number of workstations and simultaneous

The evaluation for one strategy (‘leap’) showed that through the early removal of affected customer orders from the sequence costly rework due to missing JIS components is

Koste and Malhotra, (1999), proposed a theoretical framework to analyze flexibil- ity dimensions where 10 dimensions of flexibility were considered; Machine flexibil- ity (number and

A mathematical model was developed by integer linear program for the integrated mixed-model ALBP and the model was designed to minimize total costs, including those associated
