Abstract

The sequencing problem for mixed-model assembly has a direct influence on the parts supply chain, production logistics and mobile sale logistics; it is also one of the key factors to design and organize low-carbon model logistics. The model in this paper assumed that the parts is supplied in JIT and assembled into products in a mixed-model line. A part of the products are transported to the distributor directly by car-carrier after production. In this circumstance, the essay proposes a new sequencing method on mixed-model assembly line, which considers keeping a constant speed in consuming each part in the line, leveling the load on each process within the line, and the products transportation planning above-mentioned. At last an example is given to illustrate the characteristics and effectiveness of the method in the paper.
