Abstract This paper is concerned with the development of a heuristic algorithm (MALB) for the general solution of large single-model assembly line balancing problems. It is based on the optimum-seeking backtracking method proposed by Mansoor (1964). Excellent results were obtained from tests taken over a wide range of large ALB problems. Over a third of the tests yielded a 100% line efficiency and the overall computation time was 22 sec on an IBM 7040/7044.
