Here, every second counts, which necessitates planners to meticulously optimize them. A crucial factor is each worker's nonproductive walking time between the moving workpiece and line-side material containers for picking up required material. Minimizing the walking time is difficult because the workpiece moves steadily. Helmut A. Sedding devises algorithms to optimize the sequence of work operations, and the placement of material containers. Thereby, he introduces a novel category of time-dependent scheduling problems, and lays the basis for the algorithmic optimization of time-dependent paths at the moving assembly line.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eContents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOptimization Models for Minimizing Worker Walking Time Along Moving Assembly Lines\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComplexity Analyses, Combinatorial Properties, and Optimization Algorithms \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNumerical Experiments and Statistical Analyses\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cb\u003eTarget Groups\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScientists in computer science, mathematics, operations research, operations management, and industrial engineering\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePractitioners in the field of automobile production planning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003eHelmut A.
