Mixed-model production lines are often used in manufacturing systems. In production lines, different product types are simultaneously manufactured by processing small batches. This paper describes a new welding assembly technology involving the development of experimental models for a mixed-model production line in an automobile company. Due to the extensive number of models, the design of a welding assembly system is complicated. Performance evaluation is an important phase in the design of welding assembly lines in a mixed-model production environment. In this study, a new welding assembly technology for a mixed-model production method was used to weld the package tray and dash panel of a vehicle.

In this thesis presents line balancing problems of two-sided and mixed model assembly line widely used in practical fields using genetic algorithm for reducing throughput time, cost of tools and fixtures and improving flexibility of assembly lines. Two-sided and mixed model assembly line is a special type of production line where variety of product similar in product characteristics are assembled in both sides. This thesis proposes the genetic algorithm adequate to each step in tow-sided and mixed model assembly line with suitable presentation, individual, evaluation function, selection and genetic parameter. To confirm proposed genetic algorithm, we apply to increase the number of tasks in case study. And for evaluation the performance of proposed genetic algorithm, we compare to existing algorithm of one-sided and mixed model assembly line. The results show that the algorithm is outstanding in the problems with a larger number of stations or larger number of tasks.

This paper deals with the problem of mixed model assembly line balancing. In mixed model assembly lines, tsks should be assigned to stations in such a manner that all stations have approximately the same amount of work on a production cycle basis. Further in balancing assembly lines, the related tasks, the performing task side and the team tasks should be considered to improve work methods, to give more job satisfaction to workers, and to allow greater flexibility in the design of assembly lines. In this paper, the heuristic dispatch assignment rule is developed to assign evenly tasks of each model to all stations. The heuristic method based on the assignment rule developed is presented for mixed model assembly line balancing with the considerations of the related tasks, the performing task side, and the team tasks. The proposed method is analyzed, and compared with other methods for line balancing.

Because of the ever increasing demands of consumers for a greater choice of product models, manufacturers are forced to produce a wider variety of models. Therefore, more and more assembly lines are being converted to handle the larger number. As the complexity in achieving an efficient mixed model assembly line is related to the degree of likeness between models on the line. To measure likeness between two or more models an method was developed in this study, which is based on the association of work element and their processing times on each model for mixed model assembly line.

Actually mixed assembly line is mixed with open and close type workstation. This workstation is called hybridworkstation. The propose of this paper is to determine the sequencing of model that minimize line length for actual(hybridworkstation) mixed model assembly line. we developed three mathematical formulation of the problem to minimize the overall length of a line with hybrid station. Mathematical formulation classified model by operato schedule. Mixed model assembly line is combination program and NP-hard program. Thus computation time is often a critical factor in choosing a method of determining the sequence. This study suggests a tabu search technique which can provide a near optimal solution in real time and use the hill climbing heuristic method for selecting initial solution. Modified tabu search method is compared with MIP(Mixed Integer Program). Numerical results are reported to demonstrate the efficiency of the method.

This paper considers the sequencing of products in mixed model assembly lines. The sequence which minimizes overall utility work in car assembly lines reduce the cycle time, the number of utility workers, and the risk of conveyor stopping. The sequencing problem is solved using Tabu Search. Tabu Search is a heuristic method which can provide a near optimal solution in real time. Various examples are presented and experimental results are reported to demonstrate the efficiency of the technique.

This paper presents a scheme for a hierarchical production scheduling and control system for a refrigerator factory with mixed model assembly lines. The setting of the factory is as follows. There are three mixed-model assembly lines called main line A, B and C and two batch lines that supply parts to the main lines. For each of the main lines, three work-centers are dedicated to them. The sub-lines and work-centers produce parts in batch type. An incoming production order from the master planner is characterized by its product type, amount, and due date. Under this situation, the proposed scheme has several features to schedule and control the above mentioned factory; 1) select the starting time and the place (assembly line) for an order processing, 2) devise a way to control orders to be processed as scheduled, and 3) reschedule orders when something unexpected happen. Finally, this paper provides a case study where the proposed scheme is applied to.

자동차 조립산업에서는 다양한 제품의 요구사항에 신속히 대응하기 위해 혼합형 모델 조립생산 방식이 널리 활용되어 왔다. 그러나 이 모델은 부품의 혼돈을 유발할 수 있는데, 혼합형 모델 조립라인에서 부품이 물리적으로 뒤바뀔 때 발생하는 조립오류의 원인이 될 수 있다. 최근 RFID와 ZigBee 무선센서네트워크와 같은 새로운 기술을 조립공정에 적용함으로써 이와 같은 생산 시스템에서 IT 인프라를 통한 실시간 정보를 활용할 수 있게 되었다. 본 논문은 혼합형 모델 조립라인에서 조립공정을 위한 RFID와 ZigBee 무선센서네트워크 활용을 제안한다. 먼저, 조립공정에서 정확한 부품을 선택하기 위해, 조립라인 상의 각 칵핏모듈에 RFID 태그를 부착하고, 이러한 태그를 RFID 리더기를 사용하여 스캔한 뒤 차량의 정보를 인식하고, 칵핏모듈의 각 부품은 바코드를 부착하여 바코드 리더기를 사용하여 스캔하여, 해당 부품이 조립될 차량의 칵핏모듈의 정확한 부품임을 확인한다. 다음으로 본 논문은 자동차 회사로부터의 다양한 주문과 신차 모델에 따른 조립라인에서의 공정의 변화와 재구성에 따라 발생하는 RFID 장치들과 IT서버 시스템 사이의 유선통신용 케이블 포설과 불편함을 제거함으로써 조립오류와 비용을 줄일 수 있는 가변구조 혼합형 모델 칵핏모듈 조립생산방식을 위해 ZigBee 무선센서네트워크 기반의 응용을 제안한다. 마지막으로 제안한 방식을 적용한 수년간의 운영 결과를 제시한다.

This paper concerns with the problem of mixed model assembly sequencing using neural net. In recent years, because of two characteristics of it, massive parallelism and learning capability, neural nets have emerged to solve the problems for which more conventional computational approaches have proven ineffective. This paper proposes a method using neural net that can consider line balancing and grouping problems simultaneously. In order to solve the mixed model assembly sequencing of the motor industry, this paper uses the modified ART1 algorithm.
