Abstract
Mixed-model assembly lines are widely used in many manufacturing firms to meet diversified demands of consumers without possessing large product inventories. In this paper, we posed order oriented assembly line sequencing as a multiple-objective optimization problem with the objectives to minimize material consumption waviness, the total setup cost, and finished product inventory cost. The multi-objective optimization algorithm based on non-dominated sorting particle swarm optimization (NSPSO) is designed. Computational experiment has been demonstrated to the applicability of using NSPSO to solve the problem and effectiveness of the proposed approach. By means of this research, the valid solutions for order oriented mixed-model assembly line sequence can be offered to the decision makers effectively.
