This article focuses on the Mixed-Model Assembly Line Balancing single-target problem of type 2 with single-sided linear assembly line configurations, which is common in the industrial environment of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). The main objective is to achieve Algorithmic...

We considered a mixed corrective maintenance policy for machines in a two-machine onebuffer flow line. The machines had stochastic processing times and suffered from unexpected failures. In the case of a failure, the machines were either minimally repaired or their failing components were...

We consider the scheduling problem of cyclic production in a bufferless dual-gripper robot cell processing a family of identical parts. The objective is to find an optimal sequence of robot moves so as to maximize the long-run average throughput rate of the cell. While there has been a...
