Walking-worker assembly lines can present advantages over fixed-worker systems. This article presents a multiproduct parallel walking-worker assembly line with shared automated stations, and evaluates its operational performance compared to semiautomated and manual fixed-worker lines. Simulation models were used to set up increasingly challenging scenarios based on an industrial case study. The results revealed that semiautomated parallel walking-worker lines could achieve greater productivity (+30%) than fixed-worker lines under high-mix low-volume demand conditions. info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/es/ 2.8 2023 ENGINEERING, CHEMICAL 80 / 170 = 0.471 2023 Q2 T2 0.525 2023 Chemical Engineering (miscellaneous) 2023 Q2 Process Chemistry and Technology 2023 Q3 Bioengineering 2023 Q3 5.1 2023 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Yagüe-Fabra, José A.
