State-of-the-art exact and heuristic solution procedures for simple assembly line balancing (2006, background): “More general ALBP with additional characteristics like cost objectives, paralleling of stations, equipment selection, and mixed-model production are described and surveyed in Becker and Scholl (2003). Figure 1.”
Balancing stochastic two-sided assembly lines (2016, background): “However, as noted by Becker and Scholl (2006), the instability of humans’ work rates, the varied skill and motivation of workers, as well as the failure sensitivity of complex processes, requires the consideration of stochastic task times; that is, the task times are not constant but random variable”
