Abstract
Assembly line balancing is a manufacturing technique aimed at determining the anticipated production rate for manufacturing a specific product within a defined timeframe. Six Sigma, a profit-maximizing method, focuses on achieving consumer satisfaction. Reducing cycle time has become crucial to enhance production rates and meet client expectations. Assembly lines play a pivotal role in industrial production as efficient flow-line systems. Although building or redesigning assembly lines requires significant capital investment, a well-configured assembly line can enable cost-effective manufacturing. This study aims to enhance assembly line productivity by reducing cycle times. Enhancing an assembly line’s overall performance hinges on designing or reconfiguring the assembly system, facilitated by assembly line balancing and comprehensive operations analysis..
Keywords: Cycle time, production and equipment cost workstations, Assembly line, the balance of the assembly line,
