• Resumen

  • A car assembly line usually produces hundreds of cars every day; each workstation in the assembly line needs car components to perform their task. The replenishment of the components is a critical issue for the proper operation of the assembly line. In a multi-model assembly line, this task becomes more complicated than in a single model assembly line. A lack of inventory could cause some problems in the production line; excess inventory could also create it. The contribution of this paper is a MIP for the feeding of the mixed model assembly line to minimize the cost of the replenishment, keeping a proper inventory level.
