Abstract :
In this paper, we deal with an assembly line with limited-cycle multiple periods with two kinds of workers. Skills of workers are assumed to be different. We consider an optimization problem for finding an allocation of workers to the line that minimizes total expected cost satisfying the demand. Then we propose a theorem of the property of the optimal worker allocation and discuss the other properties in conditions.
