How can we use the OptaPlanner to assign tasks to work centers in a balanced way production line (Mixed-Model Assembly Line Balance Problem)? 
Someone could tell us what kind of solution we could use to solve this problem? 





Thank you in advance for your attention.

The problem could be separated three parts.

1) solve for N-months (with some estimation of demand), 1-month (with actual demand), weekly (re-scheduling)
    to get how much number of the products in the orders could be produced for each day regarding due date and balancing.
2) solve the sequencing the final (or semi final) products of each line of each day
    regarding enough span between specific options which has difficulty to assemble continuously.
3) scheduling from backward to assign machines, parts, components and tasks for the solution of (2)

(1) and (2) are optimization problem.

Is this understanding collect?
