Abstract
Presents an approach, based on ant techniques, to effectively address the assembly line balancing problem with the complicating factors of parallel workstations, stochastic task durations and mixed-models. Use of the assembly line layouts obtained from solutions for simulated production runs so that output performance measures are obtained; Competitiveness of the ant approach with the other heuristic methods in terms of obtained performance measures.
