Heuristic methods for cost-oriented assembly line balancing: a comparison on solution quality and computing time

Amen, Matthias - EconWPA - 2003

This paper is focused on the solution quality and computing time requirements of heuristic methods for cost-oriented assembly line balancing. It is based on a recent paper (Amen, International Journal of Production Economics 68 (2000), which describes in detail the solution process of existent...

Heuristic methods for cost-oriented assembly line balancing: a survey

Amen, Matthias - EconWPA - 2003

This paper is concerned with cost-oriented assembly line balancing. This problem occurs especially in the final assembly of automotives, consumer durables or personal computers, where production is still very labour- intensive, and where the wage rates depend on the requirements and...

An exact method for cost-oriented assembly line balancing

Amen, Matthias - EconWPA - 2003

After a characterization of the cost-oriented assembly line balancing problem it will be shown that by loading the stations maximally the cost-oriented optimum can be missed. Instead of loading the stations maximally the criterion two-stations-rule a has to be used. For generating optimal...

Dynamics of Income Distribution

Li, Hongyi; Xie, Danyang; Zou, Heng-fu - EconWPA - 2002

In this paper, we have obtained closed-form solutions in Cass-Koopmans growth models with heterogeneous agents. The relationship between the form of production function and the dynamics of income distribution is made explicit. We then use this relationship to determine what production structure...
