Book Description
This paper describes the basic considerations required to generate and manage an assembly line balance within a manufacturing facility. The problem of balancing an assembly line is observed in the form of a deterministic line balancing method. The purpose is to search academically and experientially for improvement in the process of balancing production assembly lines. The assembly line balance concepts are discussed in a predetermined hierarchy of importance as realized from the author's experience with, and analysis of manufacturing organizations. The suggestions throughout the study are intended to provide management personnel with a sense of self-imposed objectives and perspective on the proper evaluation of the whole system and its components. Methods, diagramming, and modeling are inclusive essentials to support this research.
