A critical assumption made in formulating the classical assembly line balancing model is that the line is 'serial' with no 'paralleling' of stations allowed. A model is proposed here which allows the paralleling of stations, thereby achieving a higher production rate and lower labour costs. The mathematical formulation of the proposed model results in a mixed integer program. A branch and bound and a heuristic solution procedure, derived from the branch and bound method, are presented. An example problem is used for illustration. Some computational experience is also provided. |
