In this study, an oven assembly line that is planning to re-establish manufacturing to increase the
efficiency of the assembly process. The importance of the problem emerges from a real-world
application consisting of product-oriented restrictions. These multiple restricted problems addressthe
single model assignment restricted ALB problem with positional constraints. A cost-based objective
function is used to cope with this problem. The number of platformed and non-platformed stations, the
number of direction changesin a station, the number ofstationsin which both connector and combiner
are used are the cost factors of the objective function. Also, the main objective of the problem is to
minimize the total number of stations while satisfying the restrictions. A simulated annealing-based
hyper-heuristic is adapted and applied to the balancing problem of oven manufacturing process with
assignments and operationalrestrictions with multiple objectives. The resultsshow that bettersolutions
can be found in the current line balance level while satisfying more restrictions. It is also observed
that line balance can be improved depending on the relaxation of the restrictions.
