Line-Balancing is distribution of total work load among various stations evenly as to achieve the production target.
The problem is to minimize the difference between maximum station time and individual station time subject to element time
constraint, precedence relationship constraint.
The assembly line as planned and installed based on the production rate required; any change in demand value, product design
requires change in assembly line.
The case study involves Kilbridge and Wester (KBW) method and Ranked Position Weighted (RPW) method line balancing
Heuristic Algorithm to balance the manual assembly line. Result is selected as best of two method and proposed arrangement for
distribution of workload among various stations is made for the radiator assembling plant considering line-efficiency(E) and
smoothness index(SI) as performance criterion.
