| dc.description.abstract | Mixed Model Assembly Line are widely used to produce different models as per customer's demands. sequencing problem is an important factor for an efficient use of Mixed Model Assembly Line. The Sequencing Problem is resolved in favor of minimzing the total cost and to keep uniform usage of each part. In this research project cost model is presented. To get merits and demerits between Mixed Model Assembly Line and Flexible Assembly Line, a comparision is done concerning sequencing problem with cost saving and to keep continue usage of each part. Previously, researchers worked to minimize the utility time or setup time within Mixed Model Assembly Line. But in this research, different models are produced withing Mixed Model Assembly Line and without setup and then Mixed Model Assembly Line is compared with Flexible Assembly Line, where setup is required. Hence, this research is new and has its novelty. To measure the performance of Mixed Model Assembly Line and Flexible Assembly Line, different parameters i.e. different sequence patterns, constant and random demand, cycle time and setup time are used to check effect on total cost per unit is computed. This analysis yields a comprehensive result in favor of Mixed Model Assembly Line to save the cost. The outcome of this research suggests about best sequence pattern for Mixed Model Assmebly Line and Flexible Assembly Line, which gives continue consumption of each part and cost saving and reducing of cycle time, would provide higher production. | en_US |
