In this study, a binary fuzzy goal programming approach is applied to assembly line balancing. Models for balancing straight and U-shaped assembly lines with fuzzy goals (the number of workstations and cycle time goals) are proposed. The binary fuzzy goal programming models are solved using the methodology introduced by Chang [Chang, C.T., 2007. Binary fuzzy goal programming. European Journal of Operational Research 180 (1), 29-37]. Ail illustrative example is presented to demonstrate the validity of the proposed models and to compare the performance of straight and U-shaped line configurations. (C) 2008 Elsevier B.V.
