Production Line Balancing Productivity Improvement Project
Objective
To educate production related staff on production line balancing
Production Line Status
Ø Unbalanced status Ø Balanced status
Overview Ø Disadvantages due to improper line balancing Ø Factors effected for unbalancing a production line Ø Steps to be followed - Line balancing Ø Week Points to be improved Ø Expected skill inventory after training Ø Maintaining the proper line balancing
Disadvantages Improper line balancing Ø Difficult to meet delivery date Ø Under utilization of workers’ capacity Ø Wastages Ø Space Ø Electricity Ø Extra payments Ø Extra workload
Ø Creating problems
Higher Absentee ism
Higher Defective Percentage Poor Team Work
Higher M/C Break Down
Ignoranc e Higher Labor Turn Over
Poor Data Recording & Analysis Unskilled Workers
