Stability analysis of an optimal balance for an assembly line with fixed cycle time

Stability polyhedra of optimal permutation of jobs servicing

“…It merges analysis of the optimal schedules for stability [1,2,[13][14][15][16], multistage decision making (namely, the stage of planning in the off-line mode and the stages of successive refinement of the realized schedule in the on-line mode) [1,17,18], and the concept of "solution" of the uncertain-data problem as the minimal dominating set of semi-active schedules [1, 9-12, 19, 20], that is, as the minimal dominating set of permutations for the problem 1|p L…”

Whether the benefits associated with avoiding an extra resource actually surmount the disadvantages of a more restricted balancing problem, can just be answered by explicitly modeling cost synergies (b 4 = res 01 ).…”

The effect of buffers and work sharing on makespan improvement of small batches in assembly lines under learning effects

“…In some environments, however, the time duration of all or some of the tasks may change during the life cycle of the line due to instability of operators pace, motivation, changes in product and station characteristics, etc. The effect of such phenomena on the line balance, and some analytical properties on the stability of the line were given in Sotskov et al (2006), Gurevsky et al (2012), Sotskov et al (2012) and others.…”
