English abstract:
The benefits of automatization in human-operated assembly lines are well known. When complete automatization is not possible, a combined production system, with both manual and automated parts, could be the best configuration. Adding robots to an only human-operated assembly line may decrease the number of stations and consequently the number of workers in the line. Even if, the number of stations cannot be decreased, the number of workers could be reduced in case of proper reallocation jof tasks.
