摘要: In real world, line balancing involves existing lines in factories and the typically needs to be rebalanced rather than balanced. Rebalancing of a U-line can defined as changeover process from its initial configuration new for while due reasons such demand variations, changes product design task times, etc. This study defines rebalancing problem with stochastic times proposes solution procedure based on ant colony optimisation. The objective proposed algorithm is minimise total cost which sum transposition costs, workstation opening/closing costs operating workstations particular planning horizon. A comprehensive experiment conducted generate instances compare U-lines by means several factors. 6600 solutions are obtained comparisons performed.
