Bee colony intelligence in zone constrained two-sided assembly line balancing problem

A mathematical model and genetic algorithm-based approach for parallel two-sided assembly line balancing problem

“…Some heuristic approaches were proposed by Lee et al (2001), Hu et al (2008), Ozcan and Toklu (2010) and Yegul et al (2010); and some exact solution approaches were developed by Wu et al (2008) and Hu et al (2010) since the two-sided assembly line balancing problem was first introduced by Bartholdi (1993). Meta-heuristics have also been presented by Baykasoglu and Dereli (2008), Simaria and Vilarinho (2009), , Ozbakir and Tapkan (2010), Ozcan (2010), Ozbakir and Tapkan (2011), Chutima and Chimklai (2012), and Khorasanian et al (2013). Among these meta-heuristics, studies by Kim et al (2000), Kim et al (2009), Taha et al (2011), Rabbani et al (2012) and Purnomo et al (2013) employed Genetic Algorithm (GA) based approaches to balance two-sided lines.…”

Simultaneous balancing and sequencing of mixed-model parallel two-sided assembly lines

“…Meta-heuristics have also been presented to address twosided assembly line balancing problem, i.e. Baykasoglu and Dereli (2008), Simaria and Vilarinho (2009), Ozcan and Toklu (2009b), Ozbakir and Tapkan (2010), Ozcan (2010), Ozbakir and Tapkan (2011), Chutima and Chimklai (2012). Among these meta-heuristics, the studies of Kim et al (2000Kim et al ( , 2009, Taha et al (2011), Purnomo et al (2013), and Rabbani et al (2012) employ different variations of genetic algorithm to balance two-sided lines.…”

A nondominated sorting ant colony optimization algorithm for complex assembly line balancing problem incorporating incompatible task sets

“…Rashid [13] presented a review of optimization methods, objective functions, and specific constraints used in solving two-sided assembly line balancing problems. The majority of the researches on twosided assembly line balancing problem focused on single-model production, see for example Kim, Kim [14], Lee, Kim [15], Kim, Song [16], Ozcan and Toklu [17], Ozbakir and Tapkan [18], Purnomo, Wee [19] and Li, Tang [20]. However, mixed-model lines are also utilised frequently in industry though they have been received less attention.…”
