【 摘 要 】

Modern manufacturing industries nowadays encounter with the challenges to provide a product variety in their production at a cheaper cost. This situation requires for a system that flexible with cost competent such as Mixed-Model Assembly Line. This paper developed a mathematical model for Mixed-Model Assembly Line Balancing Problem (MMALBP). In addition to the existing works that consider minimize cycle time, workstation and product rate variation, this paper also consider the resources constraint in the problem modelling. Based on the finding, the modelling results achieved by using computational method were in line with the manual calculation for the evaluated objective functions. Hence, it provided an evidence to verify the developed mathematical model for MMALBP. Implications of the results and future research directions were also presented in this paper.
