It presents precise and heuristic approaches to tackle these complex problems. An assembly line system is a pivotal manufacturing process where components are sequentially assembled from workstation to workstation, culminating in the final product. In the context of assembly line balancing, tasks from various product models are strategically assigned to workstations based on their processing times and interdependencies. This intricate process incorporates two key features: uncertain task times and demand volatility, which are addressed separately and concurrently within the conventional assembly line balancing model. To demonstrate the practical application of the proposed framework and methodology, a real-life case study related to mask production during the COVID-19 pandemic is presented. This case study showcases the effectiveness of the proposed approach in optimizing assembly line operations under uncertain conditions. The book is specifically designed for advanced graduate students with a keen interest in combinatorial optimizations in manufacturing, particularly in the context of dealing with uncertain input. By exploring these mathematical models and their practical applications, readers gain valuable insights into the optimization of assembly line processes, enhancing efficiency and productivity in the manufacturing industry.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 418g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 235 x 155 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9789811942143\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eEdition number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1st ed. 2022\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Yuchen Li","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44289587151098,"sku":"9789811942143","price":74.96,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/noImage_1_4ce20320-ce70-4514-85f6-b7ad96edbcae.jpg?v=1687282232","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/assembly-line-balancing-under-uncertain-task-time-and-demand-volatility-9789811942143","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
