Analysis of Line Balancing Problem for Production of Fuel Tank Mounting Bracket

Abstract

Assembly line balancing is a manufacturing technique that establishes an expected production rate to create a specific product in a particular period of time. Six Sigma is a profit-maximizing technique achieved by meeting consumer satisfaction. Cycle time reduction has emerged as a crucial aspect of improvement to generate high production and fulfill client demands. In industrial production, assembly lines play a vital role as flow-line production systems. Assembly lines need a significant capital expenditure to build or redesign them, but with good configuration, cost-effective manufacturing is possible. This study aims to increase assembly line productivity with shorter cycle times. The main stage in enhancing an assembly line's overall performance is to create or reconfigure an assembly system, which is made possible by assembly line balance and related operations analysis.
