Abstract:
In this work, a human resource assignment problem, in an assembly line, is presented and solved. We have to optimize the allocation of workers to tasks and to stations, in order to increase the productivity of the production line. This problem is called Assembly Line Worker Assignment and Balancing Problem (ALWABP). To solve the problem, an Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) algorithm is applied. A Numerical study is carried out to investigate the effect of some parameters of the ACO method on the quality of the obtained solution.
