Assembly Line Balancing
The process of equalizing the amount of work at each work station on an assembly line.

How to Balance a Line Specify the task relationships and their order
of precedence. Draw and label a precedence diagram. Calculate the desired cycle time (Cd). Calculate the theoretical minimum number of
workstations (N). Group elements into workstations recognizing
cycle time & precedence. Evaluate the efficiency of the line (E). Repeat until desired line efficiency is reached.

Cycle Time
Calculate the desired cycle time (Cd). If Joe’s Sub Shop has a demand of 100
sandwiches per day. The day shift lasts 8 hours.
Cd =production time available
desired units of output
Cd =8 hours x 60 minutes/hour
100 sandwiches
Cd = 4.8 minutes
