An expert system to minimize operational costs in mixed-model sequencing problems with activity factor

作者：

Highlights：

• Minimization of operational costs by work overloads and useless time in mixed-model sequences.

• Bounded activation of operators of assembly line in order to improve productivity.

• Economic compensation of excess effort of operators.

• Economic gains for the company and operators because of the recovery of production drop.

• Computational experience linked to the Nissan's powertrain plant in Barcelona.
