Abstract

 The problem of allocating tasks to work stations along an assembly line lo produce a product with minimum idle time is known as the balancing problem. Assembly line production may be either one or more than one model ox one product. The first case of production is known as the single-model assembly line production. The second case of production is known as the mixed-model assembly line production, as the market competition increases, the demand for mixed-model production increases. 
The paper at hand is concerned with the mixed-model balancing problem and presents a balancing approach which can be applied to any mixed-model assembly fine balancing problem. 
This approach is suitable in so far as it can give optimal solutions' (or special cases of mixed-model assembly line production. 
Those problem cases are discussed in the present paper. The procedure steps are given and a FORTRAN Computer program is written to handle the balancing procedure. A test case example solution is displayed. The program output balancing solution gives all the problem data first and the resulting balancing solution second.
