Balancing Problem of Stochastic Large-Scale U-Type Assembly Lines Using a Modified Evolutionary Algorithm

U-type assembly lines have become a mainstream mode in manufacturing because of the higher flexibility and productivity compared with straight lines. Since the balancing problem of a large-scale U-type assembly line is known to be NP-hard, effective mathematical model and evolutionary algorithm are...
