SALBP-1 is to find an optimal balance of the assembly line for the given cycle time c, i.e., to find a feasible assignment of all operations V to a minimal possible number m of stations. Condition 1: Inclusion implies that operation i is assigned to some station and operation j is assigned to some station such that. (Set B) Condition 2: The cycle time c is not violated for each station. (Set B(t)) Condition 3: The line balance b uses a minimal number of m stations.

4 SALBP-2 is to find an optimal line balance for a given set of m stations, i.e., to find a feasible assignment of the operations V to the m stations in such a way that the cycle time c reaches its minimal value. Condition 1: Inclusion implies that operation i is assigned to some station and operation j is assigned to some station such that. (Set B) Condition 2: The line balance b has to use all m stations. (Set B(t)) Condition 3: The line balance b provides the minimal cycle time с. (Set ) B B(t)B(t) B opt (t) FORMULATION OF PROBLEM SALBP-2
5 DEFINITION OF THE STABILITY RADIUS t1t1 t2t2 0 The closed (open) ball in the space with the radius and the center is called a stability ball of the line balance, if for each vector of the processing times with the line balance remains optimal. The maximal value of the radius of a stability ball is called the stability radius of the line balance.
6 CRITERIA OF STABILITY FOR OPTIMUM LINE BALANCES Theorem 1 The line balance is not stable for the problem SALBP-1 if and only if there exists a subset such that and Let be the set of subsets for which equality holds. Theorem 2 The line balance is not stable for the problem SALBP-2 if and only if there exists a line balance such that condition does not hold.
