Shrnutí:•We address the Type II Transfer Line Balancing problem to minimize the cycle time.•A mixed integer programming model is developed, and a branch and bound algorithm is proposed to obtain exact solutions.•The efficiency of the branch and bound algorithm is improved through lower and upper bounding procedures.•The experiments show the satisfactory behavior of the model and branch and bound algorithm for moderate size instances. In this study, we consider the Type II Transfer Line Balancing problem, aiming to minimize the cycle time by assigning operations to blocks and blocks to workstations. We develop a mixed integer programming model and propose a branch and bound algorithm for exact solutions. Our algorithm efficiency is enhanced through lower and upper bounds. Computational results demonstrate the satisfactory performance of the model and branch and bound algorithm for moderate-sized problem instances.
