Course Objective

Assembly lines are special flow-line production systems which are typical in the industrial production of high quantity standardized commodities. Because of very different conditions in industrial manufacturing, there occurs a large number of different assembly line balancing problems. The aim of this course is to introduce the fundamental types of assembly lines as well as their extensions. Moreover, students will get familiar to exact and heuristic solution approaches for various types of assembly line balancing problems.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   To make the students aware of the assembly line balancing problems that arise in manufacturing environment
2   To develop the students' analytical abilities in solving the assembly line balancing problems
3   To make the students develop specific heuristics to solve the assembly line balancing problems
4   To develop the students' skills in conducting empirical research on assembly line balancing problems and in making oral presentations
