Single and mixed-model assembly line balancing methods for both deterministic and normally distributed work element times

Creator:

Rao, Dodla Nageswara

Abstract:

Line balancing is concerned with the optimal assignment of work elements to individual operators in an assembly line of a mass producing system. This paper summarizes the assembly line balancing terminology, the computational methods, and objective functions applicable to a wide variety of assembly lines. Single and mixed-model situations for...

AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Dodla Nageswara Rao for the Master
Development and experimental evaluation of branch-and-bound algorithms for determining optimum static job-shop production schedules

Creator:

Ramalingam, P. Rama, 1941-

Abstract:

Branch-and-Bound algorithms are developed to optimally schedule static single- and multi-stage job-shop productions. The 'corollary' of the study is to experimentally verify the effectiveness of branch-and-bound algorithms to overcome the "curse of dimensionality" due to the combinatorial nature of job-shop scheduling problems. The static scheduling problem contemplated in this dissertation...
