Abstract
Production line is a set of sequential operation that support refinery process product from raw material to end process into finish product. However, due to the operations have different time process to finish an item/part, it caused unbalance processing time in certain work station in a production line. This problem increases overtime to work station with heavy load tasks, in the contrary to work station with low load tasks results idle workers. Overtime is definitely cost to organization. PT. Metindo Era Sakti has overtime as their issue. To balance the process time in work stations, line balancing method is one of option to the problem. Line Balancing uses to reduce overtime by increasing production line efficiency, reducing delay time, and decreasing worker idle time [8]. By using Rank Positioned Weight (RPW) and Largest Candidate Rules (LCR) and comparing those methods was proven that production line efficiency increased by 85,63%, delay time decreased by 14,37%, and reduced idle time by 3,77 minutes. Therefore, while reducing overtime, PT. Metindo Era Sakti enable to minimize overtime cost by Rp. 4.092.000 each year.
