Parallel Assembly Line Balancing

Parallel Assembly Line Balancing is an assembly line balancing problem variant that involves the simultaneous optimization of multiple interdependent production lines to achieve workload balance and improve overall system efficiency, distinguished from traditional line balancing by its focus on coordination and resource sharing across parallel lines.
