Abstract


In this paper, we present an extension to the TSALBP problem (Time and Space constrained Assembly Line Balancing) with ergonomic risk restrictions and two mode1s to aggregate elemental tasks. We perform a study linked to Nissan to evaluate the impact that produces the ergonomic risk reduction on the number of workstations required by the line in the particular case of TSALBP-1.
