ABSTRACT
An assembly line is a manufacturing processor simply a progressive assembly in which the components are added as the semi-finished assembly moves from workstation to workstation where the parts are added in sequence until the final assembly is produced. By mechanically moving the parts to the assembly work and moving the semi-finished assembly from workstation to workstation, there may arises a problem of sudden stoppage of assembly line due to failure of some machine parts because of many reasons.In this research task,an effective algorithm for avoidance in the assembly line stoppage is designed and implemented using ant colony and firefly approach to get the root cause of stoppage of assembly line and thereafter a comparative study is done to find out the better approach among them.
