Project of the Month


"Balancing an assembly line"


Increasing output by accurately balancing workloads on the assembly line

KEY NUMBER OF THE PROJECT

Optimized cycle and throughput time by 12%

Clearly defined tasks and work content for each assembly station

APPROACH

  • Determination of the total work content of the future assembly line.
  • Dividing the content into meaningful assembly cycles.
  • Determination of missing assembly times.
  • Capacity calculation for each cycle and assembly station
  • Balancing the individual stations and their work content in relation to each other.
  • Determination of personnel requirement
  • Development of a material supply concept for the assembly line

RESULTS

  • Definition of the individual assembly cycles and their contents (workloads, required material, fittings, etc.)
  • Assembly cycles are coordinated with each other in terms of content and timing.
  • Personnel requirements for the entire assembly line is defined.
