On “Currently Practiced Formulations of the Assembly Line Balance Problem”

In “Currently Practiced Formulations of the Assembly Line Balance Problem” [ 131, Gunther, Johnson, and Peterson present a goal-programming approach to the assembly line balancing problem. This problem involves the assignment of the assembly tasks to the work stations along the line. The criteria for assignment varies. Gunther, Johnson, and Peterson have discussed what needs to be considered in modeling these types of problems, providing empirical support for their arguments based on a survey of practicing engineers.
