... assembly lines, disassembly lines must be balanced in order to ensure the effective operation of the line. Mathematical programming techniques, metaheuristics, and various heuristic procedures were employed in order to solve different types of disassembly line balancing problem (DLBP). However, the use...

...Jeonghan Ko; S. Jack Hu The conventional approaches to manufacturing system design and line balancing have often focused on a single generation of products, thus leading to new design or rebalancing when new products are introduced or different models are produced in the same line. As the life...
