Combining Assembly Sequence Planning (ASP) and Assembly Line Balancing (ALB) is now of increasing interest. The customary approach is the sequential approach, where ASP is optimised before ALB. Recently, interest in the ...

In assembly optimisation, Assembly Sequence Planning (ASP) and Assembly Line Balancing (ALB) optimisations currently performed in serial, present an opportunity for integration, allowing benefits such as larger search space ...

In assembly optimisation, assembly sequence planning and assembly line balancing have been extensively studied because both activities are directly linked with assembly efficiency that influences the final assembly costs. ...
