Comparison of Sequential and Integrated Optimisation Approaches for ASP and ALB

Combining Assembly Sequence Planning (ASP) and Assembly Line Balancing (ALB) is now of increasing interest. The customary approach is the sequential approach, where ASP is optimised before ALB. Recently, interest in the integrated approach has begun to pick up. In an integrated approach, both ASP an...
