Abstract

The following paper deal with an approach to analyze a multi model manual assembly line for oleo dynamic products, and the following heuristic algorithm to optimize the scheduling of tasks to the available stations, under the respect of a set of restrictions, as task/station obligation, and with the aim of optimize a multi objective function based on time and line balancing costs elements. This problem can be considered as belonging to the wide area of GALB Problems. Some strategy about resource scheduling opportunities has been considered. The original system was an assembly line with six stations, and, in the original and referable configuration, with six operators, but, under the spur of residual margins of the utilization ratios, as a improving evolutive strategy, an idea of evaluate opportunities of improving performances, by assembling coupled mixed items, feeding together the assembly line, have been evaluated, based on a twin mirror counterflowed line.
