The book deals with two main decision problems which arise when flow-line production systems are installed and operated. The assembly line balancing problem consists of partitioning the work, necessary to assemble the product(s), among different stations of an assembly line. If several models of a product are jointly processed on a line, this medium-term problem is connected with the short-term problem of determining an operating sequence of the models. In Part I balancing and sequencing problems are discussed, classified, and arranged within a hierarchical planning system. In the present second edition special emphasis is given to u-shaped assembly lines which are important components of modern just-in-time production systems. Part II is concerned with exact and heuristic procedures for solving those decision problems. For each problem type considered, a survey of existing procedures is given and new efficient solution methods are developed. Comprehensive numerical investigations showing the effectiveness of the new methods and their superiority over existing approaches are reported.

Line balancing is about arranging a production line so that there is an even flow of production from one work station to the next. Line balancing also a successful tool to reduce bottleneck by balancing the task time of each work station so that there is no delays and nobody is overburden with their task. This thesis presents a case study on a line balancing problem in an electronic company and the study focused on assembly line 11 and 12 which produced inductor model HA00-08464 LFTR. This study aims to improve the productivity and line efficiency also to recommend improvement activities based on the line balancing and analysis done in the simulation model. The simulation was done by using Tecnomatix Plant Simulation. All the data needed for the line balancing analysis was collected and a line balancing model equipped with manual calculation was done. This data gathered is then simulated in Tecnomatix Plant Simulation. Among the improvement activities conducted in order to balance the line was combining a few process into one, transformation from manual process to mechanization, and removing waste from the line. Throughout the study, three layouts were proposed. Among these three layouts only one will be proposed to the company. The layout proposed has a better line efficiency and rate of productivity.
