Mojtaba Ebrahimi et al.

Summary: This paper discusses the impact of a newly emerging mass-individualisation concept on manufacturing systems, particularly the sequencing problem in dynamic environments. The author uses a real-world case to propose a mathematical model and a hyper-heuristic method for solving the problem, and employs a simulation approach for optimization in dynamic environments. The results indicate that the simulation approach is highly effective in solving such problems in real-world cases.

A Novel Simulated Annealing-Based Hyper-Heuristic Algorithm for Stochastic Parallel Disassembly Line Balancing in Smart Remanufacturing

Youxi Hu et al.

Summary: Remanufacturing extends the life cycle and increases the residual value of end-of-life products. Disassembly is crucial in retrieving valuable components from these products, and disassembly lines are introduced to improve efficiency. However, existing research on disassembly line balancing problem (DLBP) focuses on straight lines and single-objective optimization methods, lacking representation of the actual disassembly environment. This paper introduces a stochastic parallel complete DLBP and proposes a simulated annealing-based hyper-heuristic algorithm (HH) for multi-objective optimization, demonstrating its feasibility and superiority through computational experiments.

An aircraft final assembly line balancing problem considering resource constraints and parallel task scheduling

Zhongkai Bao et al.

Summary: In this study, the balancing problem of an aircraft final assembly line (AFAL) is investigated. The objective is to assign assembly tasks to workstations in a way that balances their cycle time and minimizes the resource investment cost. An integer linear programming model is developed and a two-stage heuristic approach is proposed, involving task assignment construction and improvement. The proposed approach outperforms existing methods and its variants, as demonstrated by computational experiments and a real case study.

A hyper-heuristic approach for stochastic parallel assembly line balancing problems with equipment costs

Lale Ozbakir et al.

Summary: This study addresses the problem of stochastic parallel assembly line balancing with equipment costs and proposes a hyper-heuristic approach based on simulated annealing. The approach searches within the sequencing heuristics search space instead of a problem-specific solution space. The focus is on considering equipment costs while balancing a stochastic parallel assembly line. The results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm generally outperforms the best-known solutions in literature. Extensive computational experiments are conducted to determine parameter levels and analyze the effect of equipment costs on stochastic parallel assembly lines.
