E. Shadkam; F. Ghavidel

Volume 10, Issue 1 , March 2021, , Pages 56-66

https://doi.org/10.22105/riej.2021.269298.1184

Abstract
  The use of assembly lines is one of the important approaches in mass production of industrial products. Imbalance of assembly lines increases cycle time and idle times, resulting in reduced production rates, line efficiency, and increased system costs, which ultimately lead to low productivity. A hybrid ...  Read More
