Optimization of two sided assembly line balancing with resource constraint
Two-sided assembly line balancing (2S-ALB) problems are practically useful in improving the production of large-sized high-volume products. Many research has proposed various approaches to study and balance this well-known ALB problem. Although much attention has been given to solve and optimize 2S-...

Two-sided assembly line balancing (2S-ALB) problems are practically useful in improving the production of large-sized high-volume products. Many research has proposed various approaches to study and balance this well-known ALB problem. Although much attention has been given to solve and optimize 2S-ALB, the majority of the research assumed the workstation has similar capabilities. This research has been conducted in an automotive assembly line, where most of the equipment used in assembly is different from one workstation to another. The assumption that all workstation has similar capabilities lead to inefficient resource utilization in assembly line design. This research aims to model and optimize 2S-ALB with resource constraints. Besides optimizing the line balancing, the proposed model also will minimize the number of resources in the two-sided assembly line. The research begins with problem formulation by establishing four optimization objectives. The considered optimization objectives were to minimize the number of workstations, number of mated-workstation, total idle time, and number of resources. For optimization purpose, Particle Swarm Optimization is modified to find the best solution besides reducing the dependencies on a single best solution. This is conducted by replacing the best solution with the top three solutions in the reproduction process. A set of benchmark problems for 2S-ALB were used to test the proposed Modified Particle Swarm Optimization (MPSO) in the computational experiment.
