Abstract

In the current paper, we show an analysis of scientific literature on the MixedModel Assembly Lines sequencing, such as automobile assembly lines. In the real car productive systems, the sequence is defined by the content and the extraction order of a subset of units, taken from a buffer at the beginning of the assembly line, which is dynamically refilled. The problem consists of defining the sequence of an assembly line in real time to optimize the flow of materials and the requirements of resources on the line. The aim of this review was to determine the different approaches and their approximation to real applications.
