Abstract:The previous research on cross-training mainly focused on productive efficiency. However, enhancing labor’s satisfaction of tasks is as much important as improving production performance. This paper addresses a new cross-training policy for an assembly cell from the point of view of humanization. A multi-objective 0-1 integer programming model is presented to implement the cross-training policy for an assembly cell. The first objective works on getting to maximize average satisfaction degree, and the sec… Show more
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.
