Abstract
An assembly line is a technique used in mass production industries especially in the automotive industry, it consists of many work stations organized along a belt transport system or another handling equipment. The Assembly line balancing problem (ALBP) is a crucial question because it affects directly the productivity of the whole manufacturing system. In this paper we give an up to date review about this topic and we discuss the development of the classification of the assembly line balancing problems (ALBP) and the procedures and algorithms that propose solutions to the ALBP in our case.
