Abstract
This study considers a system where the minimum number of work stations are formed in a multimodel assembly line by robot and the optimum number of work station is determined from the economical criterion. The system with the minimum number of work stations is suggested by intensifying several work stations when the practical line exceeds the theoretical by longest line. An economical formula that presents the optimum number of work stations is suggested to determine whether the robots used in this system are profitable.
