In this research we studied how the assignment of a fully cross-trained workforce organized on a serial production line affects throughput. We focused on two serial production environments: dynamic worksharing on a production line, similar to bucket brigade systems and a fixed assignment serial-production line where workers work on a specific task during a given time period.The solution obtained by this LP relaxation can only give us an insight into the possible throughput through the serial line and represents a high, and in most cases, non-attainable upper bound on the problem. The LP is formulated and solvedanbsp;...
