摘要：

We performed a cost-benefit analysis of the employee cross-training process on a mixed-model assembly line. We first simulated the manufacturing process to demonstrate the savings which result from cross-training. We then presented a linear integer program designed to make cost-effective cross-training assignments for a specified number of assembly jobs and workers. Next, we examined the profitability of these assignments for several work stations over various time horizons. In addition, we derived insights into the cross-training assignment process from these results, and we explain how the integer program can be used to improve efficiency in production planning.
