  Title On the complexity of assembly line balancing problems Type
  Year 2019 Publication Computers & Operations Research Abbreviated Journal Comput. Oper. Res.  
  Volume 108 Issue Pages 182-186  
  Keywords Line balancing; Complexity; Bin packing  
  Abstract (down) Assembly line balancing is a family of combinatorial optimization problems that has been widely studied in the literature due to its simplicity and industrial applicability. Most line balancing problems are NP-hard as they subsume the bin packing problem as a special case. Nevertheless, it is common in the line balancing literature to cite [A. Gutjahr and G. Nemhauser, An algorithm for the line balancing problem, Management Science 11 (1964) 308-315] in order to assess the computational complexity of the problem. Such an assessment is not correct since the work of Gutjahr and Nemhauser predates the concept of NP-hardness. This work points at over 50 publications since 1995 with the aforesaid error.
