A model for assembly line balancing problems

The assignment of tasks to work stations in an assembly environment has been the matter of concern to researchers so that the efficiency of the system can be enhanced. An assembly line may be define a flow-oriented production system where the productive units performing the operations, referred to as stations, are aligned in a serial and sequential manner. The proposed work deals with a methodology for the problem of assigning tasks to work stations in assembly lines, where the cycle time is variable. A model has been proposed to assign the tasks to the work station in assembly lines, where variation of cycle time is imposed by the management and then Analysis of Variance bas been applied.
