In this paper, a shortest route formulation of simple U-type assembly line balancing (SULB) problem is presented and illustrated on a numerical example. This model is based on the shortest route model developed in [Manage. Sci. 11 (2) (1964) 308.] for the traditional single model assembly line balancing problem. (C) 2004 Elsevier Inc.
