There is limited number of papers which consider setup times in assembly line balancing literature. Additionally, in these studies setup times are assumed as deterministic. Nevertheless, task and setup times can include variation due to human factors, machine breakdowns, lack of equipment and environmental factors in real life applications. Therefore, in this study assembly line balancing problem with stochastic sequence-dependent setup time is studied. A mathematical model is proposed for solving the problem and computational analysis is made on certain test problems.

Stokastik Sıra-Bağımlı Hazırlık Zamanlı Montaj Hattı Dengeleme Problemi

Öz

Montaj hattı dengeleme literatüründe hazırlık zamanlarını dikkate alan sınırlı sayıda çalışma bulunmaktadır. Aynı zamanda bu çalışmalarda hazırlık zamanlarının deterministik olduğu varsayılmıştır. Fakat gerçek uygulamalarda görev ve hazırlık zamanları insan faktörü, makine arızaları, donanım eksikliği ve çevresel faktörler gibi nedenlerden dolayı değişkenlik gösterebilmektedir. Bu nedenle, çalışmada stokastik sıra-bağımlı hazırlık zamanlarını dikkate alan montaj hattı dengeleme problemi incelenmiştir. Problemin çözümüne yönelik bir matematiksel model önerilmiş ve belirli test problemleri üzerinde hesaplama analizleri yapılmıştır.
