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...
