“…Their goal was to minimize the completion time. Hung and Chen [13] proposed a dynamic approach for the management of human resources and using the simulation model, they showed that if the operators are assigned among all stations based on the needs of stations and the rate of service for machinery, then the e ectiveness can also improve. Yang et al [19] presented a simulation-based dynamic strategy for assignment of operator that considered problems such as setup time, work in process, and interaction of operator with the machine and also considered the random conditions of production systems.…”

Determining the number of operators for manufacturing operations is important in assembly line balancing. Optimal allocation of manpower increases production e ciency, thus, increasing pro ts of the companies. Since there is a possibility to assign di erent numbers of machines to each operator, a variety of scenarios of machine assignment to operators will occur. Our goal in writing this paper is to help managers choose the best possible scenario. In this model, each of the possible scenarios is modeled using the principles of queuing theory, and costs and revenues for each of these scenarios are calculated. Since uncertainty is an important part of the manufacturing environments, a fuzzy logic model is proposed to consider the uncertainty in problem. Since some inputs of the model, such as service rate and arrival rate, are fuzzy, pro t of the model will be a fuzzy number. Therefore, we use fuzzy ranking methods for prioritizing the scenarios.
