Remark. The following list does not include the
numerous papers which treat related decision
problems of configuration planning which assume
a given line balance. For example, a massive
body of literature covers the buffer allocation
problem in unpaced asynchronous lines (see the
review papers of Dallery and Gershwin, 1992;
Papadopoulos and Heavey, 1996; Gershwin,
2000).
