Abstract: Abstract This research is motivated by a real-life case which runs the public transportation services in Hong Kong, China. The mass transit railway (MTR) is contemplating the maintenance by considering the manpower planning in its depot. The main purpose of this research is to improve the efficiency of assembly with adjustable manpower planning based on an integer programming optimization model based on specify assumptions is presented. The strength of this model simplifies practical problems by considering several scenarios in the MTR assembly operations. The numerical study shows that the model of this paper can be effectively used to improve the utilization and quality of the practical applications.
