Abstract: A research is conducted on the optimization of the input sequences in mixed-model assembly lines when the material supply is in the set part supply way. Two objectives are considered simultaneously: minimizing the total variation in material consumption in the assembly line and minimizing the mistakes with material selection. To do so, a multi-objective mathematical model is established with the assembly shop and the component selection involved. A genetic algorithm is used to solve the problem.

Key words: sequencing mixed-model assembly lines; distribution based on set part supply, genetic algorithm
