标题： An Innovative Line Balancing for the Aluminium Melting Process

摘要： 本文研究通过先进的生产线平衡技术优化铝挤压工艺，重点是通过提高熔化和铸造的产出以最大化边际利润。 通过使用混合整数线性规划（MILP），我们确定了减少空闲成本并提高生产效率的策略。 研究表明，在考虑额外劳动力成本后，将每日循环率从2次增加到4.36次，日边际利润显著上升至67,786美元。 这种优化通过从两班制的8名操作员扩展到12名操作员实现，导致劳动力支出增加了50％。 研究结果揭示了日边际利润增长了117.6％，突显了自动化和智能制造在改变铝挤压行业中的潜力。 跨行业研究的见解，包括现代服装行业的精益方法，进一步说明了这些进步的广泛适用性。 本研究强调了自动化在推动制造行业生产力和盈利能力方面的重要作用，为铝挤压及其他领域的未来创新铺平了道路。 显示英文摘要

摘要： This research article explores the optimization of aluminium extrusion processes through advanced line balancing techniques, focusing on maximizing marginal profit by increasing melting and casting outputs. By employing mixed integer linear programming (MILP), we identify strategies to minimize idle costs and enhance production efficiency. The study demonstrates that increasing the daily cycle rate from 2 to 4.36 cycles results in a significant rise in daily marginal profit, calculated at USD67,786, after accounting for additional labour costs. This optimization is achieved by expanding the workforce from 8 to 12 operators across two shifts, leading to a 50% increase in labour expenses. The findings reveal a remarkable 117.6% growth in marginal daily profit, underscoring the potential of automation and intelligent manufacturing in transforming the aluminium extrusion industry. Insights from cross-industry research, including Lean Methodology in the Modern Garment Industry, further illustrate the broader applicability of these advancements. This study highlights the critical role of automation in driving productivity and profitability in manufacturing sectors, paving the way for future innovations in aluminium extrusion and beyond.
