A review on hybrid metaheuristics in solving assembly line balancing problem

Abstract

Recently, it is noteworthy that the solving of optimization problem has been shifted from heuristic towards hybrid metaheuristics. This paper demonstrates a review in solving assembly line balancing problem by using metaheuristics hybridization. Generally, hybrid metaheuristic is a combination of two or more algorithms. This combination is helpful in improving the weakness of these two algorithms. In this work, we provide a literature review of existing publications for the past years which from year 2002 to 2018. Hereby, this survey can recommend the important gap for future research assembly line balancing problem in applying the hybrid metaheuristics.
