Abstract

This paper considers the sequencing of products in mixed model assembly lines under Just-In-Time (JIT) systems. Under JIT systems, the most important goal for the sequencing problem is to keep a constant rate of usage every part used by the systems. The sequencing problem is solved using Genetic Algorithm Genetic Algorithm is a heuristic method which can provide a near optimal solution in real time. The performance of proposed technique is compared with existing heuristic methods in terms of solution quality. Various examples are presented and experimental results are reported to demonstrate the efficiency of the technique.
