The objective of assembly line balancing (ALB) is the allocation of tasks to workstations of continuous production lines in order to minimise operating cost or other cycle time-related management criteria. As a consequence of the development of computer technology, mathematical programming models of practical-sized ALB problems can be solved by commercial optimisation software very efficiently. Therefore, the focus of research in ALB can be shifted to practice-driven model formulation and to the investigation of new areas of application. The objective of this paper is to show how cycle-time related operations management decisions can be supported with quick solution of ALB models through the case of a bicycle assembly process. Practical ALB problems related to workforce skill and to production quantity changes are presented and management implications of the results are explained.
