| Tiivistelmä: | The design of a synchronous, unpaced flow line is considered. The line is unpaced in the sense that items only move to the next workstation when all workers on the line have completed their respective tasks. The design problem in this case is to assign both workers and tasks to workstations to minimize the expected sum of regular and overtime costs. To solve this problem, an optimization algorithm is developed. It was found that: 1. planned overtime is frequently beneficial, 2. more workers should be hired as worker variability increases, and 3. increases in overtime costs frequently yield a relatively lower percentage increase in total expected cost. |
