and building up a simplified fish bone assembly line layout. Line Balancing in Automotive
Component Manufacturing. The general algorithm of line balancing that we use for the further
improvement was. That is why; it is more frequently used to design a new AL where demands are
forecasted beforehand. Assembly analysis. Assembly Chart It shows the sequence of operations in
putting the product together. Minimum part set (MPS) Suppose there are l product types. Feasible
solutions generated from the first stage are decoded and scaled with second stage objective function.
Cycle time is already glready given as so no need to calculate. There are more robot workers than
human workers because human workers take more time. As in the case of mixed-model balancing,
the objective function is measured from the solutions obtained by the joint precedence graph,
feasible solutions need to satisfy the performance indexes of the line. Type 1 of SALBP (SALBP-1)
consists of assigning tasks to work stations such that the number of stations is minimized for a given
production rate whereas Type 2 (SALBP-2) is to maximize the production rate, or equivalently, to
minimize the sum of idle times for a given number of stations.
The fierce global competition, poor responsiveness, low flexibility to meet the uncertainty of

balancing: Which model to use when? N. Often the threat of leaving is enough to gain concessions
from workers, communities and even countries. For this purpose, a bench mark assembly line
balancing problem is solved by five different heuristics and the value of objectives criteria’s
(performance measures) of the line is determined. Introduction. With the assembly optimiser,
optimisation for loops can be made very simple. Since the time of Henry Ford, many developments
have been taken place in production systems which changed assembly lines from strictly paced and
straight single-model lines to more flexible systems with intermediate buffers. Line efficiency of
AUTO Engine is increased by 10.31%. But, in terms of not finding a good balancing structure
supported by a proper sequencing of the mixed models, the interim performances of the line will be
poor which obstruct the overall mixed-model AL-based production scenario. In order to eliminate the
problem, the industry management aims to construct a fish bone assembly line by merging the pre-
assembly and main assembly lines at the same building, which requires the current point-assembly
system to be switched to a fish bone assembly line for more productivity. Unleashing the Power of
AI Tools for Enhancing Research, International FDP on. If we take this job off the assembly line (not
tied to the other operators), we could save 40 percent of the cost. 2. Small parts that are easily

OPTIMAL BALANCING OF ASSEMBLY LINE USING RPW TECHNIQUE rama prasad The
traditional assembly line balancing problem considers the manufacturing process of a product where
production is specified in terms of a sequence of tasks that need to be assigned to workstations.
There is also going to be idle time at the other two work stations. First of all we calculated the
existing line efficiency of the organization mathematically which was found to be 40.5%. Then we
applied largest candidate rule (LCR), Kilbridge and wester column (KWC) and rank positional
method (RPW) methods of line balancing in the existing factory to balance the sequence and time
duration of work elements. Step 4: repeat steps 2 and 3 for as many additional stations as necessary
until all elements have been assigned. This includes systematic design approach of an AL and
different performance and workstation related indexes which helps the line designer to identify plant
specific design factors for line balancing, re-balancing and sequencing. The proposed approach is
encoded via MATLAB and validated with reference data to prove the optimal conditions. A case
study was conducted in the assembly line of an electrical accessories manufacturer in Malaysia. The
main objective of this project is to increase the production by changing the layout of the assembly
line in making of Transmit Mixer. If workers are paid Rs8 an hour and the profit per frame is Rs5,
should the production quota be set to the maximum. The starting point of this study is the
investigation of the main balancing methodologies, understanding their advantages and
disadvantages in assigning homogenously tasks to workers. Thus we are proposing this scientific
approach to get the optimal solution for increased rate of production of the company without
affecting the quality and cost. Usually interchangeable parts of the final product are assembled in
sequence using best possibly designed logistics in an AL. One of the ideas that saved the most time
was to use an assembly line. Firstly, the production rate is not in optimum level on the basis.

different workstations. The cycle time for each station was recorded, and the standard cycle time
was estimated. Zzz Zzz 10 sec 40 sec! 20 sec 15 sec Overproduction. The productivity of proposed
WWAL is calculated using ProModel simulation software and compared with FWAL to ensure
optimization. The feasible solution of the mixed-model balancing indicates station 2 as bottleneck
station as the cycle time of 59 sec is fully consumed. Such performance indexes are the line
efficiency, station smoothness index and the overall balance delay. Step 2: Assign the elements to the
worker at first station by starting at the top of the list and selecting the first element that satisfies
precedence requirements and does not cause the total sum of Tek at that station to exceed the
allowable Ts; when an element is selected for assignment to the station, start back at the top of the
list for subsequent assignments. The best answer to an assembly line balance problem is the lowest
total number of hours per unit. Turbofan Engine Modelling and Control Design using Linear
Quadratic Regulator. Mahto Anjani Kumar Engineering 2012 The concept of mass production
essentially involves the assembly of identical or interchangeable parts of components into the final

point-assembly line acts as a factory within a factory, bringing out its own problems of high noise, it
is not possible to utilize the area efficiently, material handling system is not properly arranged and it
has poor housekeeping. A simple combined precedence relation example is given in figure 5, with 12
tasks, where node containing the task number and the values indicate tasks time. Whereas, the first
stage procedure can also be implemented for Single model ALB problems. Proposed approach is
shown to perform well as the optimized solution generation scheme is converged from the different
feasible solutions. In both problem types, precedence constraints between the tasks have to be
considered. Distributing the tasks of all four models to four different workstations maintaining an
overall workload balance, i.e. SSAL as the objective of mixed-model balancing considered here and
