An Ant Colony Algorithm for Integrating Assembly Sequence Planning and Assembly Line Balancing

Abstract:

Assembly sequence planning (ASP) and assembly line balancing (ALB) problems are two essential problems in the assembly optimization. This paper proposes an ant colony algorithm for integrating assembly sequence planning and assembly line balancing, to deal with the two problems on parallel, and resolve the possible conflict between two optimization goals. The assembly sequence planning problem and the assembly line balancing problem are discussed, the process of the proposed ant colony algorithm is investigated. The results can provide a set of solutions for decision department in assembly planning.
