Mathematical Approach to Solve Multi-Model Assembly Line Balancing Problem

The problem of the multi-model line balancing is considered as a complex problem in balancing and more complicated than the single-model problem because the setup times have variety and relatively high, in addition to numerousness and variety of the products. The studies related to this subject is few, therefore, in this research detailed study is made on the multi-model line balancing problem and focusing on describing its characteristic and formulate the mathematical presentation and steps are suggested to solve the problem by using heuristic methods.
