Riassunto analitico
The performance of mixed-model assembly lines in the automotive industry relies on the availability of a wide range of components: in the era of mass customisation, this has proven to be an increasingly complex task. In such settings, components come in various shapes, weight, and volumes, but also in several variants - each one with its own absorption rate - according to the specification required by the client. Hence, the diversity of parts requires the selection of the most efficient assembly line feeding mode that aims at minimizing the total operating and storage cost.
