Assembly Line Balancing with Method Ranking Positional Weight (case study: XYZ Company)

Abstract

A company uses several methods to increase productivity in the company. One of method used in increasing productivity is balancing production lines on each work element. Balancing the work track can be done by allocated work elements. The allocation of work elements in the work station can be seen at cycle time. Big difference in cycle time causes some work elements have bottlenecks. In achieving high productivity in a work station company must have a balanced workload. Effectiveness in the production floor aims to make the company achieve the desired production target of consumers. Companies failing to achieve production targets will have a negative impact on the company. The negative impact felt by the company in the form of losses. Ineffectiveness in production summary can be caused by differences between machine capacity and production capacity. Machine capsules that are smaller than the capacity of production cause the work elements must have accumulated. Effective production trajectories can be measured by producing high output with low resource utilization. The reason why companies often experience bottlenecks on a production floor is an imbalance of resources within a factory.
