Highlights:

• Lexicographic bottleneck mixed-model assembly line balancing problem is studied.

• Artificial bee colony and tabu search algorithms are proposed.

• Parameters of the proposed algorithms are optimised using response surface method.

• Test problems are solved to assess the performance of the proposed methods.

• It is observed that both algorithms provide promising results in reasonable times.
