A production system which consists of a number of parallel assembly lines is considered. Oneach line a certain product is manufactured observing a common cycle time. By arranging thelines in a favourable manner, it is possible to increase efficiency of the production system bycombining stations...

Assembly line balancing problems (ALBP) arise whenever an assembly line is configured,redesigned or adjusted. An ALBP consists of distributing the total workload for manufacturingany unit of the products to be assembled among the work stations along the line subjectto a strict or average cycle...

Assembly line balancing problems (ALBP) consist of distributing the total workload for manufacturingany unit of the products to be assembled among the work stations along a manufacturing line as used inthe automotive or the electronics industries. Usually, it is assumed that the production...

Assembly line balancing problems (ALBPs) arise whenever an assembly line is configured, redesignedor adjusted. An ALBP consists of distributing the total workload for manufacturingproducts among the work stations along the line. On the one hand, research has focussed on developingeffective and...

Most approaches to multi-project scheduling are based on the assumption that resources can betransferred between projects without any expense in time and cost. As this assumption often isnot realistic, we generalise the multi-project scheduling problem (RCMPSP) by additionallyincluding transfer...

We consider the problem of scheduling multiple projects subject to joint resource constraints.All approaches proposed in the literature so far are based on the assumption that resources canbe transferred from one project to the other without any expense in time or cost. In many realworldsettings...
