Assembly lines are one of the mass production systems frequently used in production and may be one of the most successful application areas of Industry 4.0 technology in the near future. Assembly lines, which are mostly used in the production of complex products, enable to increase the output per unit time by making the most effective use of production resources. Well-balanced assembly lines also increase the competitiveness level of enterprises by enabling them to meet developing and changing customer demands on time and with minimum cost.
This book has been prepared for both undergraduate and graduate students who want to learn about assembly line planning, as well as line managers and engineers working on line balancing in businesses. Includes tools and techniques for effectively balancing the most common types of assembly lines in the industry. The assembly line balancing issue was first handled and modeled in its simplest form, and solution methods were explained through examples. Afterwards, many real-life constraints were added and different types of problems were explained in detail. At the end of the chapters, study questions are included.
In addition to the heuristic methods, this book, which includes the genetic algorithm application, which is one of the meta-heuristic algorithms, and which is prepared for practice, is presented in the appendices of the GAMS program codes of the mathematical models developed.
