Assembly Line Design: The Balancing of Mixed-Model Hybrid Assembly Lines with Genetic Algorithms: Springer Series in Advanced Manufacturing

Autor Brahim Rekiek, Alain Delchambre
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 10 noi 2005
Efficient assembly line design is a problem of industrial importance. Assembly line design is often complex due to the multiple components involved: efficiency, cost and space. The aim is to integrate the design with operations issues, minimising costs.
It is important to give the designer tools to help him meet the different objectives. 3 techniques based on the Grouping Genetic Algorithm are presented which can be used to aid assembly line design:
- ‘equal piles for assembly lines’ deals with assembly line balancing (balancing stations’ loads);
- a method based on a multiple objective grouping genetic algorithm (MO-GGA) deals with resource planning (selection of equipment);
- ‘balance for operation’, deals with the changes during the operation of assembly lines.
This book will interest technical personnel in design, planning and production departments in industry as well as managers in industry. It will also be of use to researchers and postgraduates in mechanical, manufacturing or micro-engineering.

Recenzii

The design of efficient assembly lines is a problem of considerable industrial importance and contributions in this domain are always appreciated. This book aims to develop new and generic assembly line tools which are capable of evolving a wide range of different line designs with minimal reconfiguration by a designer. In particular, it presents new techniques to deal with assembly line balancing and resource planning.
The book is well written and documented. It is a good reference for postgraduate students and practitioners who are working in the field of resource management and scheduling in manufacturing systems.

Textul de pe ultima copertă

Efficient assembly line design is a problem of considerable industrial importance. Unfortunately, like many other design processes, it can be time-consuming and repetitive. In addition to this, assembly line design is often complex owing to the number of multiple components involved: line efficiency, cost, reliability and space for example. The main objective is to integrate the design with operations issues, thereby minimising its costs.
Since it is impossible to replace a designer’s intelligence, experience and creativity, it is important to provide him with a set of assistance tools in order to meet the conflicting objectives involved. Assembly Line Design presents three techniques based on the Grouping Genetic Algorithm (a powerful and broadly applicable optimisation and stochastic search technique) which can be used to aid efficient assembly line design:
• ‘equal piles for assembly lines’, a new algorithm introduced to deal with assembly line balancing (balancing stations’ loads);
• a new method based on a multiple objective grouping genetic algorithm (MO-GGA) aiming to deal with resource planning (selection of equipment to carry out assembly tasks);
‘• balance for operation’ (BFO), introduced to deal with the changes during the operation phase of assembly lines.
Assembly Line Design will be of interest to technical personnel working in design, planning and production departments in industry as well as managers in industry who want to learn more about concurrent engineering. This book will also be of value to researchers and postgraduate students in mechanical, manufacturing or micro-engineering.
