Assembly line design is often complex due to the multiple components involved: efficiency, cost and space. The aim is to integrate the design with operations issues, minimising costs.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIt is important to give the designer tools to help him meet the different objectives. 3 techniques based on the Grouping Genetic Algorithm are presented which can be used to aid assembly line design: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e- 'equal piles for assembly lines' deals with assembly line balancing (balancing stations' loads); \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e- a method based on a multiple objective grouping genetic algorithm (MO-GGA) deals with resource planning (selection of equipment); \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e- 'balance for operation', deals with the changes during the operation of assembly lines. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book will interest technical personnel in design, planning and production departments in industry as well as managers in industry. It will also be of use to researchers and postgraduates in mechanical, manufacturing or micro-engineering.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Brahim Rekiek,Alain Delchambre\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1846281121\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781846281129\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Springer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/10\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.87lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.40h x 6.49w x 0.61d","brand":"Brahim Rekiek","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48459649515775,"sku":"9781846281129","price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_231ee558-ddf7-46fc-9853-c102d28e4f6e.jpg?v=1777411021","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/assembly-line-design-brahim-rekiek-9781846281129","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
