Cyclic scheduling of flexible mixed model assembly lines with parallel stations

“…Constraints (17) and (18) enforce that if a product is scheduled before another product in a stage, the same schedule must be preserved in the next cycles. Similarly, makespan of a cycle is equal to the completion time of the last activity in that cycle, (19).…”

“…Considering the perceived gap and due to its success in representation, modeling and solving combinatorial problems in general and scheduling problems in particular [16][17][18] in this study we develop a new constraint programming model formulation for simultaneous balancing and cyclic scheduling of flexible mixed model assembly lines with parallel stations to minimize cycle time of models. This study is a continuation and extension of authors' earlier works [7] and [10].…”
