Artificial bee colony algorithm for solving sequence-dependent disassembly line balancing problem
This is the first adaptation of artificial bee colony algorithm to solve the SDDLBP. The proposed algorithm is very easy to implement. The algorithm was thoroughly tested on small and large sized instances. Comparison with six other algorithms proves the superiority of the proposed method. The algorithm provides near optimal solution for this NP-complete problem.
