Abstract

Manual assembly line technology has made a significant contribution to the development of manufacturing industry in the twentieth century. It remains an important production system throughout the world in the manufacture of automobiles, consumer appliances and other assembled products made in large quantity such as television, cameras, washing machine and audio equipments. This project is about the line balancing optimization for single model assembly line in the production line which a part of the production scheduling. The main objective is to explore the companies with suitable with the project especially use conveyor system, learn and collect data from the existing system using the time study analysis and proposed the optimum system based on parameter such as cycle time, line efficiency, idle time and balance delay. The method that were used in this project are heuristics method consist the 3 algorithm such as Largest Candidate Rule, Kilbridge and Wester Method and Ranked Positional Method. The result from this project should determine the best method from the proposed system based on the parameter states before. The performances of a given line balancing algorithm depends on the problems to be solved. Some line balancing methods works better on some problems while other method work better on other problems.
