A comparative evaluation of heuristic line balancing techniques
Article Abstract:
The article presents a computational experiment used to examine the efficacy of 26 heuristic decision regulations that group work functions into work stations by an assembly line so that the quantity of work stations needed is limited. The heuristic decision regulations examined differ from basic list processing techniques that evaluate one advantage of each work task for assignment, to techniques that are optimal seeking, though with a computational time limit. A comparison is also made of the results taken with an optimal solution for the subset of the problems evaluated.

Organization design: introduction to the focused issue
Article Abstract:
Accidents and actions will determine the quality of new organization formulations. These and additional processes produce organization designs, structures, technologies, and processes, resulting in impact on the effectiveness of the organization. The designs of the organization will determine the nature and quality of the decisions made on behalf and within the organization.
