Multi-manned assembly lines are generally used to produce large-sized volume products such as cars and trucks. This article addresses the multi-manned two sided assembly line balancing problem with the objectives sharing tool between workstations. This paper presents a mathematical model and a Lingo -16 solvers based exact algorithm for multi-manned two-sided assembly line system configuration with tool sharing between adjacent workstations for companies that need intelligent solutions to satisfy customized demands on time with existing resources. The results obtained indicate that tool shared between parallel stations of two or more parallel lines beneficial for assembly line to minimize workstations, idle time and reduce tool cost.
