Simultaneous balancing and buffer allocation decisions for the design of mixed-model assembly lines with parallel workstations and stochastic task times
Tiacci, Lorenzo - In: International Journal of Production Economics 162 (2015) C, pp. 201-215
The buffer allocation problem (BAP) and the assembly line balancing problem (ALBP) are amongst the most studied … a very complex problem: the Mixed Model Assembly Line Balancing Problem (MALBP) with stochastic task times, parallel …

Using Simulation and Data Envelopment Analysis to Compare Assembly Line Balancing Solutions
McMullen, Patrick; Frazier, Gregory - In: Journal of Productivity Analysis 11 (1999) 2, pp. 149-168
This paper presents a technique for comparing the results of different assembly line balancing strategies by using Data … Envelopment Analysis (DEA). Initially, several heuristics--which can be thought of as assembly line balancing strategies …--were used to solve seven line-balancing problems. The resulting line balance solutions provided two pieces of information that …

Über die Wirkung der Optionsbündelung auf die Ablaufplanung einer Variantenfließfertigung
Boysen, Nils; Ringle, Christian - In: Metrika 18 (2008) 3, pp. 301-321
Option bundling combines different product features (options) to certain product packages (bundles). Customers can select or deselect bundles in order to tailor basic products according to their individual needs. While marketing related aspects are broadly discussed in the literature, the...

Resequencing of mixed-model assembly lines: Survey and research agenda
Boysen, Nils; Scholl, Armin; Wopperer, Nico - In: European Journal of Operational Research 216 (2012) 3, pp. 594-604
Nowadays, mixed-model assembly lines are applied in a wide range of industries to mass-produce customized products to order, e.g., in automobile industry. An important decision problem in this context receiving a lot of attention from researchers and practitioners is the sequencing problem,...

Scheduling Just-in-Time Part Supply for Mixed-Model Assembly Lines
Boysen, Nils; Bock, Stefan - Wirtschaftswissenschaftliche Fakultät, … - 2010
With increasing cost competition and product variety, providing an efficient Just-in-Time (JIT) supply has become one of the greatest challenges in the use of mixed-model assembly line production systems. In the present paper, therefore, we propose a new approach for scheduling JIT part supply...

Modélisation du problème général d'ordonnancement de véhicules sur une ligne de production et d'assemblage
Jeunet, Jully; Giard, Vincent - Université Paris-Dauphine (Paris IX) - 2006
Several formulations to the mixed-model assembly line have been proposed in the literature. Such a problem is concerned with the production of a variety of product models. Vehicles fall into that category. The underlying assumptions of those models are often restrictive, therefore limiting their...

Level scheduling under limited resequencing flexibility
Boysen, Nils; Fliedner, Malte; Scholl, Armin - Wirtschaftswissenschaftliche Fakultät, … - 2010
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 (LS), which aims to distribute...

Car sequencing versus mixed-model sequencing: A computational study
Golle, Uli; Rothlauf, Franz; Boysen, Nils - In: European Journal of Operational Research 237 (2014) 1, pp. 50-61
The paper deals with the two most important mathematical models for sequencing products on a mixed-model assembly line in order to minimize work overload the mixed-model sequencing (MMS) model and the car sequencing (CS) model. Although both models follow the same underlying objective, only MMS...

On the part inventory model sequencing problem: Complexity and beam search heuristic
Fliedner, Malte; Boysen, Nils; Scholl, Armin - Wirtschaftswissenschaftliche Fakultät, … - 2007
In many industries mixed-model assembly systems are increasingly supplied out of third-party consignment stock. This novel trend gives rise to a new short-term sequencing problem which decides on the succession of models launched down the line and aims at minimizing the cost of in-process...
