AN OPERATOR LOAD BALANCING PROBLEM IN A SEMI-AUTOMATIC PARALLEL MACHINE SHOP

摘要

This paper deals a load balancing problem among operators in a semi-automatic parallelrnmachine shop, in which two types of machine are operated. The objective is to assign jobs to properrnmachines and allocate machines to operators for minimizing the unbalance of the workloads amongrnoperators under the constraints of available machine-time and operator-time.
