Abstract: | This paper presents a fuzzy goal programming approach to solve a multi-objective mixed-model assembly line sequencing problem in a just-in-time production system. A mixed-model assembly line is a type of production line capable of diversified small-lot production and is able to promptly respond to sudden demand changes for a variety of models. Determining the sequence of introducing models to such an assembly line is of particular importance for the efficient implementation of just-in-time (JIT) systems. In this paper, we consider three objectives, simultaneously: minimizing total utility work, total production rate variation, and total setup cost. Because of conflicting objectives, we propose a fuzzy goal programming-based approach to solve the model. This approach is constructed based on the desirability of decision maker (DM) and tolerances considered on goal values. To illustrate the behavior of the proposed model, some of instances are solved optimally and computational results reported. |
