This paper presents a type E simple assembly line balancing problem (SALBP-E) that combines models SALBP-1 and SALBP-2. Furthermore, this study develops a solution procedure for the proposed model. The proposed model provides a better understanding of management practice that optimizes assembly line efficiency while simultaneously minimizing total idle time. Computational results indicated that, under the given upper bound of cycle time (ct(max)), the proposed model can solve problems optimally with minimal variables, constraints, and computing time.
