Assembly line systems form the backbone of modern manufacturing, and the optimisation of their balancing and sequencing is critical to achieving enhanced productivity, reduced costs, and improved ...

Companies choose manufacturing processes -- such as job order, batch process, assembly line and continuous process -- based in part on the level of product individualization allowed. Manufacturers use ...

The general practice in mixed model assembly line balancing is to assign work to stations in a manner that each station has an equal amount of work on a daily or shift basis. This paper shows how a ...

The stability and safety of lithium batteries require treating them with careful consideration. If lithium-ion battery cells do not operate within a constrained state-of-charge (SOC) range, their ...
