Abstract：An optimal design of assembly lines where the workers have different skills is proposed .Firstly, a mathematical model for this problem is built .Secondly , a two-phase solution is proposed to tackle this problem where the first step is to schedule the processes and the second step to allocate the workers to the processes.In this solution, a genetic algorithm with double encoding pattern and branch and bound method are applied, with the upper and lower bounds proposed .To evaluate the effectiveness and practicability of the method, a case of assembly line from one enterprise is simulated by the method .
