| Abstract: | A new algorithm for optimally balancing assembly lines is formulated and tested. Named "FABLE", it obtains proven optimal solutions for ten 1000 task lines, which each possess the computationally favorable conditions of an average of at least 6 tasks per work station and a small number of between-task precedence requirements, in less than 20 seconds of IBM 3033U CPU time for each problem. A total of 549 problems of various characteristics are solved to determine conditions under which FABLE performs most and least favorably. |
