Assembly Line Balancing Problems in Uncertain Environment

The consideration of this book is given to address the straight and U-shaped assembly line balancing (SALB & SULB) problems. We developed a novel bi-objective fuzzy mixed-integer linear programming model (BOFMILP) for SALB and SULB problems. We proposed a new two-phase interactive fuzzy programming approach to solve the problems. The validity of the proposed model as well as its solution approach are evaluated through numerical examples. The results demonstrate that our proposed interactive fuzzy approach not only can be applied in multi-objective assembly line balancing problems but also is capable to handle any practical multi-objective linear programming models.
