Abstract
AbstractThis section examines the subject of “assembly line rebalancing during task time disturbances”. As is well known, a sudden disruption in the production process may necessitate rebalancing. In this section, the assembly line rebalancing problem is considered in a multiperiod context with stochastic processing times. It is expected that precise points in time have been selected for rebalancing the line (if necessary). Two solutions are recommended to address the rebalancing problem: a periodic rebalancing policy and a data-driven rebalancing policy. The objective is to minimize total cost, which includes manufacturing and rebalancing expenses. The empirical investigation reveals numerous findings: rebalancing an assembly line is sometimes worse than not rebalancing it; rebalancing an assembly line too frequently may be detrimental; and the new data-driven strategy introduced is superior to the plain multiperiod policy.
