In this paper, the blocking flow shop problem is considered. An exact algorithm for solving the blocking flow shop problem is developed by means of the bounded dynamic programming approach. The proposed algorithm is tested on several well-known benchmark instances. Computational results show that the presented algorithm outperforms all the state-of-the-art exact algorithms known to the author. Additionally, the optimality is proven for 26 previously open instances. Furthermore, we provide new lower bounds for several benchmark problem sets of Taillard requiring a relatively short CPU time.

The Time and Space constrained Assembly Line Balancing Problem (TSALBP) is a variant of the classical Simple Assembly Line Balancing Problem that additionally accounts for the space requirements of machinery and assembled parts. The present work proposes an adaptation of the bounded dynamic programming (BDP) method to solve the TSALBP variant with fixed cycle time and area availability. Additionally, different lower bounds for the simple case are extended to support the BD P method as well as to assess the quality of the obtained solutions. Our results indicate that the proposed bounds and solution procedures outperform any other previous approach found in the literature. (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

The simple assembly line balancing problem is the simplification of a real problem associated to the assignment of the elementary tasks required for assembly of a product in an assembly line. This problem has been extensively studied in the literature for more than half a century. The present work proposes a new procedure to solve the problem we call bounded dynamic programming. This use of the term bounded is associated not only with the use of bounds to reduce the state space but also to the reduction of such space based on heuristics. This procedure is capable of obtaining an optimal solution rate of 267 out of 269 instances, which have been used in previous works, thus obtaining the best-known performance for the problem. These results are an improvement from any previous procedure found in the literature even when using smaller computing times. (C) 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

The two-sided assembly line becomes very popular in recent years. In this paper, a priority rules-based algorithmic design is developed for optimizing two-sided assembly line. Five elementary rules and 90 composite rules are tested on the benchmark data sets and their performance are provided. Two enumerative principles, which are specific to two-sided assembly lines are proposed to enhance the performance of the rules. Further, priority rules are embedded into a bounded dynamic programming framework to form a deterministic algorithm where the use of a bound can reduce the solution space as the algorithm is advanced stage-by-stage. These approaches offer distinct advantages over the methods proposed in the literature, such as less fine-tuning effort and more stable results. Computational results show that the novel algorithm can generate good solutions efficiently, especially in large sized problems.

Sequencing units on an assembly line in order to obtain a regular requirement of resources is a problem that can be modelled in a variety of ways. One of the most popular is known as the Monden problem, and the heuristic proposed to obtain a 'satisfactory' solution is called 'goal-chasing' method. In the paper the myopic behaviour of this heuristic is shown, and some improvements are proposed. An exact procedure, based on BDP, is also proposed. By relaxing the assumptions, the BDP procedure becomes a new, powerful heuristic. A sample of computational results is included.

We present a GRASP algorithm to solve a problem that involves the sequencing of mixed products in an assembly line. The objective of the problem is to obtain a manufacturing sequence of models that generates a minimum operational cost with a forced interruption of operations and that is regular in production. The implemented GRASP is compared with other procedures using instances of a case study of the Nissan engine manufacturing plant in Barcelona.

Independent scoring of the aligned sections to determine the quality of biological sequence alignments enables recursive definitions of the overall alignment score. This property is not only biologically meaningful but it also provides the opportunity to find the optimal alignments using dynamicprogramming-based algorithms. dynamicprogramming is an efficient problem solving technique for a class of problems that can be solved by dividing into overlapping subproblems. Pairwise sequence alignment techniques such as Needleman–Wunsch and Smith–Waterman algorithms are applications of dynamicprogramming on pairwise sequence alignment problems. These algorithms offer polynomial time and space solutions. In this chapter, we introduce the basic dynamicprogramming solutions for global, semi-global, and local alignment problems. Algorithmic improvements offering quadratic-time and linear-space programs and approximate solutions with space-reduction and seeding heuristics are discussed. We finally introduce the application of these techniques on multiple sequence alignment briefly. less
