Assembly Line Balancing with Resource Constraints using New Rank-Based Crossovers
Assembly line balancing (ALB) is about distributing the assembly tasks into workstations with the almost equal workload. Recently, researchers started to consider the resource constraints in ALB such as machine and worker, to make the assembly layout more efficient. This paper presents an ALB with...

| description | Assembly line balancing (ALB) is about distributing the assembly tasks into workstations with the almost equal workload. Recently, researchers started to consider the
resource constraints in ALB such as machine and worker, to make the assembly layout more efficient. This paper presents an ALB with resource constraints (ALB-RC) to minimize the workstation, machine and worker. For the optimization purpose, genetic algorithm (GA) with
two new crossovers is introduced. The crossovers are developed using ranking approach and known as rank-based crossover type I and type II (RBC-I and RBC-II). These crossovers are tested against popular combinatorial crossovers using 17 benchmark problems. The computational experiment results indicated that the RBC-II has better overall performance because of the balance between divergence and guidance in the reproduction process. In future, the RBC-I and RBC-II will be tested for different variant of ALB problems. |
