Multi-Objective Two-Sided Robotic Mixed-Model Assembly Line Balancing Problem Considering Energy Consumption and Smoothing Workload

摘要

In this paper, a type II robotic mixed-model two-sided assembly line balancing problem is considered. This paper presents a new mixed-integer programming model for type II robotic mixed-model two-sided assembly line balancing to minimize the cycle time, energy consumption, and purchased cost of robots for a given number of workstations. We provided an effective framework for optimizing the multi-objective robotic mixed-model two-sided assembly line balancing problem considering energy consumption and smoothing workload in the make to order environment to help the decision makers make the right decisions under stochastic demand. An augmented epsilon constraint and Lp-metric methods applied to solve the problem, and then, with the help of defining two vertical and horizontal criteria, we attempt to help the decision maker to choose a more efficient solution to make the production line more smooth workload. We demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed method by designing the numerical experiments. ZZ ZZ ZZ ZZ ZZ
