The present paper discusses an assembly line balancing problem(ALBP). ALBP discussed up to now does not consider rack spaces where tools or parts are stored. We introduce an extended resource planning and assembly line balancing problem that takes the rack space into account. An exact search method for solving the problem by using a graph structure, and a heuristics for the method are proposed. The proposed method is evaluated by computational experiments.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
