DOI: 10.1080/0305215x.2020.1716746
Abstract: ABSTRACT In the literature, line balancing is mostly investigated in deterministic environments. But production systems inevitably contain stochastic situations. In this study, the stochastic type-II assembly line balancing problem (ALBP) is considered. Firstly, a chance-constrained… read more here.
