Abstract: The Assembly line balancing is used to balance the workload to the different workstations. And these workstations are within assembly arrange in serially. The line balancing is the process in which task assign equally to the each station. The assembly line balancing is help us to increase the efficiency, product and reduces the cost. But there is some weakness in ALB. Like high workload (overburden) in some stages. In this condition the workload come to some workstation and output variation will increase. And the work will stop. For this kind of problem we will solve by the soft computing method. Like GA (Genetic algorithm), optimization, swarm behavior and Ant colony so on. In this paper we this algorithm. The objective of this paper is to show the difference between the two methods, one delivers a precise answer but takes a very long time to operate in large problems while the other delivers an estimated answer in much less time.

Keywords: Line Balancing, Optimization, minimum cycle time, reshuffling, estimated answer
