Multi-objective balancing on mixed-model two-sided assembly lines under a learning effect

Abstract

AbstractSolving mixed model two-side assembly lines under a learning effect problem to achieve multi-objective functionsaims at highest effectiveness of assembly lines. This type of problem is known to be NP-hard. A Biogeographybasedoptimization (BBO) is applied as a method for solving this problem. The result shows that BBO outperformsthe other existing well-known algorithms, namely NSGA-II and DPSO in term of Convergence to the ParetooptimalSet and True-Pareto optimal Set.
