“…It also is easy to see that even if some similarities can be found, the problem considered here is unique in comparison with the models developed for the assembly line balancing problems, as for U-lines (Baykasoglu, 2006;Chiang et al, 2007;Özcan and Toklu, 2009), two-sided lines (Simaria and Vilarinho, 2009;Hu et al, 2010;Roshani et al, 2012), and multiple U-lines (Yegul et al, 2010;Yazgan et al, 2011;Agpak et al, 2012;Rabbani et al, 2012). Indeed, the tasks assigned to the different workstations but performed by the same worker in U-lines can be seen as different machining modules of a turret but with other types of precedence and layout constraints involved.…”

A problem of design of complex automated production lines with rotary transfer and turrets is considered. Operations are partitioned into groups that are performed by spindle heads or by turrets. Constraints related to the design of spindle heads, turrets, and working positions, as well as precedence constraints related to operations, are given. The problem consists of minimizing the estimated cost of this automated production line, while reaching a given cycle time and satisfying all constraints. Two methods are proposed to solve the problem. The first uses a mixed-integer programming formulation of the problem. The second method is based on its reduction to a constrained shortest path problem. An industrial example is presented.

“…Yazgan et al (2011), refers to this as "common job", and proposes an heuristic to assign more workers to the same task and thus to the same station of an automotive assembly line. The assignment of more workers to the same workstation in the automotive industry is addressed also by Becker and Scholl (2009), but with workers working on different tasks on the same product at the same time.…”

Abstract:Assembly lines are used for a large variety of products in different industrial sectors. In this paper the focus is placed on complex assembly systems and workstations used for the final assembly of large and bulk products, such as trucks, aircrafts, buses, tool machines. An high number of tasks to be performed at a single assembly station, several workers involved in parallel in the assembly process and long Takt times make such systems different from the models intensively studied in the literature (e.g. the traditional Simple Assembly Line Balancing Problem). This study firstly presents a new balancing model to address the problem of the total cost minimization when different operator skills are involved at the same time and then it applies the model to a real industrial case.

“…The second part of the paper deals with the simulation of the assembling operations and the analysis of tolerance chains, which have been performed through a Computer Aided Tolerancing system. Very interesting study of small bus manufacturing company is presented in (Yazgan et al, 2011). There have 17 assembly stations and they produce 8 buses per day in the assembly line.…”

This paper presents the results of the project, which goal is to analyze the production process capability after reengineering the assembly process due to expansion of a bus production plant. The verification of the designed work organization for the new configuration of workstations on new production hall is necessary. To solve these problems authors propose a method based on mixing DES (Discrete Event Simulation) and ABS (Agent Based Simulation) approach. DES is using to model the main process -material flow (buses), ABS is using to model assembling operations of teams of workers. One of obtained goal is to build a simulation model, which presents the new assembly line in the factory, taking into ac-count the arrangement of workstations and work teams in the new production hall as well as the transport between workstations.Second goal is to present work organization of work teams and division of individual workers' labor (who belongs to a particular work team and performs operations on buses in a particular workstation) in order to determine the best allocation of tasks and the optimum size of individual work teams. Proposed solution enables to determine the effect of assembly interferences on the work of particular work teams and the efficiency of the whole production system, to define the efficiency of the designed assembly lines and proposing changes aimed at the quality improvement of the created conception.
