Abstract: In this paper, the metaheuristic method consisting of the adaptive tabu search (ATS) and the practicing heuristic (PH) technique is proposed to provide optimal solutions of the assembly line balancing (ALB) problems. With the multi-objective approach, the ATS is used to address the number of tasks assigned for each workstation, while the PH is conducted to assign the sequence of tasks for each workstation according to precedence constraints. The proposed approach is tested against six benchmark ALB problems suggested by Scholl and one real-world ALB problem. Comparisons of optimal results obtained by the proposed method with those obtained by the single objective approach are elaborated.
