Homepage for assembly line optimization research
This web site is intended to be a general platform for research on assembly line design, line balancing, mixed-model sequencing and other problems in the context of planning, optimizing and controlling assembly production systems. Researchers and practioners in the field shall be able to find topic related material (publications, methods, data sets, software) and to include own work in the data bases by providing reference to new papers and uploading material.
Description: The new Laguna assembly line at Renault. Operators prepare the dashboard wiring and install parts on the exterior of the bodywork and the lining in the interior. A robot secures the glass roof. The engine and the bodyshell are automatically assembled by machines. Operators wire the engine and the headlights. The seats are installed inside the bodywork by robots.

This site is a non-profit research homepage to support academic research and practical applications of concepts and methods of assembly line optimization. In particular, line balancing and mixed-model sequencing are in the focus.
Nevertheless, hosting, developing and keeping up-to-date this website is an expensive task. Thus, an innovative financial model has been chosen in order to keep the usage of this page free of cost. Instead, the advertising program of Google has been added to the page and should be supported by users, of course.
We hope that users are not discouraged by those ads. We hope the opposite is true. The ads chosen by Google fit to the contents of our page in a surprisingly well manner.
Of course, users should not click on those links only to finance this site, because advertisers must pay for each click but each serious click is positive for the advertiser and our site as well.
