Assembly Line Scheduling In Shop Floor Using Dynamic Programming – Case Study

Abstract

Particularly, an assembly line includes careful planning the movement of workpieces from one station to another. An assembly line is a mass production issue that necessitates more tasks being planned and scheduled in sequential order. In an assembly line, each task is completed at a given station without deviating from the order of tasks that are scheduled. The time frame network must be used for all tasks for it to remain effective. In operation management systems, an assembly line refers to the process of choosing a work plan that will allow for the efficient production of parts into finished goods. According to the due date and the order created to carry out the processes, the assembly line schedule will prioritize the work. A case study on assembly line scheduling in shop floor systems has been attempted in this article. The over packing of tasks on an assembly line generally leads to a lot of exploitation. We can choose to produce custom assemblies rather than overburdening the assembly station with work. A line that can be customized only needs to be used for a certain type of assembly process.
