Application of operation research techniques for solving assembly line balancing problem

Abstract: In type's production management techniques, operation research is one of the most powerful techniques for purpose of shopfloor management decision making. The application of the techniques are helped to solve many complex problem regarding with assembly controlling, scheduling which otherwise are more difficult to solve. To the survival and growth of an industry product mix decision is an important planning activity.
