Mixed Model Assembly

On the base of summarizing and contrasting the objectives of sequencing problem in mixed model assembly lines (MMAL) , and in consideration of the influence sequence-dependent setup times , a objective is proposed to minimize the total unfinished works and idle times over all jobs and stations . And the corresponding model is presented. To solve this model, a modified genetic algorithm is proposed to determine suitable sequences. Comparing with the Lingo 9 software, the proposed GA turns out to have a good ability to solve the sequencing problems.
