The positional weights on a work element is its own processing time plus the
processing times of all the following work elements
In RPW, the work element with the highest positional weight is selected and
assigned to the current work station

Performance Measures
Line Efficiency:
= STi/(K*CT)*100%
= (50/6*10)*100= 83.3%
Balance Delay= (1 - LE)*100=16.6%
Smoothness Index= ( STmax- STi)
= (4+1+1+16+4)= 5.09
Output/day = 420 min/10 min = 42 units
