Abstract

This article proposes an evolutionary algorithm to address production line balancing problems caused by absenteeism. Companies often face varying levels of absenteeism due to different factors, requiring supervisors to balance the production line based on their own priorities, which can impact productivity. Balancing problems are considered NP-Hard in complexity theory, divided into two types: Type 1 and Type 2. The proposed algorithm aims to solve the Type II balancing problem, improving efficiency by at least 15% compared to methods based on the supervisor’s experience. The solution provided by the algorithm can be achieved in computational time equal to or less than that reported by other researchers. The advantage of this algorithm is its speed, ease of use, and ability to provide an optimal sequence of operations based on the assigned absenteeism percentage.
