Enhancement of Productivity by Using Line Balancing in Manufacturing Production

Abstract

Nowadays, the manufacturing industries are trying to increase their productivity because there are too many challenges from competitors in similar sectors especially when their products are the same. The purpose of this study is to understand the lean waste that always happens in assembly processes and how it can be reduced by applying line balancing into assembly processes. This research is beneficial to industry practitioners, and companies that are willing to enhance productivity at the same time can reduce the takt time and cycle time of a product in an assembly line. This study will allow industry practitioners to have a greater grasp of the implementation of the line balancing method to reduce cycle time as well as increasing productivity..
