In a mixed-model assembly line dierent models of a common base product can be manufactured in intermixed production sequences. A famous solution approach for the resulting short-term sequencing problem is the so called level scheduling problem, which aims at evenly smoothing the material...

A mixed-model assembly line requires the solution of a short-term sequencing problem which decides on the succession of different models launched down the line. A famous solution approach stemming from the Toyota Production System is the so called Level Scheduling, which aims at distributing the...
