Abstract

We aim at maximizing the comfort of operators in mixed-model assembly lines. To achieve this goal, we evaluate two assembly line balancing models: the first that minimizes the maximum ergonomic risk and the second one that minimizes the average absolute deviations of ergonomic risk. Through a case study we compare the results of the two models by two different resolution procedures: the Mixed Integer Linear Programming (MILP) and Greedy Randomized Adaptive Search Procedures (GRASP). Although linear programming offers best solution, the results given by GRASPs are competitive.
