Simultaneous Balancing and Scheduling of Flexible Mixed Model Assembly Lines with Sequence-Dependent Setup Times

We consider Simultaneous Balancing and Scheduling of Flexible Mixed Model Assembly Lines with Sequence-Dependent Setup Times (SBSFMMAL-SDST). We propose alternate Mixed Integer Programming (MIP) and Constraint Programming (CP) formulations. Our experiments show that while the MIP models could not solve relatively small instances, the CP approach seems more promising.
