Abstract
Assembly line balancing is a production planning strategy that has been widely used in industrial applications. Most line balancing problems are known as nondeterministic polynomial time (NP-hard) problem, and they have different structures and solution methodology approaches. In this study, newly developed production planning software which is called Visual Assembly Line Balancing Software (VALBS) is introduced for educational purposes. The aim of the software is to support teaching activity for assembly line balancing techniques; facilitate understanding characteristics of different assembly lines and solution approaches, and enable to compare the results of them. The proposed VALBS is easy to use in various manufacturing environments, and suitable to support teaching line balancing procedures in undergraduate students. The software was used in classes of industrial and mechanical engineering students and feedbacks of students measured by Likert Scale survey. The results show that proposed visual software is an effective method to teach line balancing procedures.
