Balancing Production Lines In Industrial Manufacturing Processes

This book provides a comprehensive analysis of standard times (Te), examining them as statistical data with a mean value (Ts) used as a reference for measurement. It explores the variations around this mean caused by inconsistencies in standard times at different workstations within a continuous production flow. These inconsistencies affect the required output per hour, day, or shift.

The study offers insights into how to utilize the mean of the standard times (Ts) to ensure adherence to the cycle time (Tc).

By aligning the cycle time with these standard times (Te), the goal is to balance the production line as effectively as possible.

This approach helps to meet production demands while minimizing costs.

Additionally, the study includes Ts graphs that illustrate the required standard times at each workstation to align with the customer's takt time or to meet the cycle time (Tc). These graphs provide valuable information for achieving accurate line balancing and optimizing production efficiency
