Assembly Line Balance An assembly
operation consists of a set of tasks. Assembly Line Balancing
requires using an assembly precedence relationship for these tasks
and assigning the tasks to 1) a minimum number of work stations
such that the workload assigned to each station does not exceed
the cycle time or 2) a fixed number of work stations that minimizes
the cycle time.
The optimal solution is usually quite difficult to achieve. The use of computer programs using either a Heuristic solution or Enumeration method is essential to minimize balance delay. Assembly line balance software is a computerized production management tool, which provides Engineers with the ability to maximize productivity by reducing the idle time, and evenly distributing the work among the least number of workers possible consistent with desired production levels in a JIT assembly or work cell production environment. |
