What is Line Balancing? Line Balancing is leveling of the workload across all operations in a line to remove bottlenecks and excess capacity‚ defined by Six Sigma Material. When you consider mass production‚ garments are produced in lines or set of machines instead of single machine. A line may be assembly line‚ modular line or section‚ a line set with online finishing and packing. A line includes multiple work stations with varied work contents. Production per hour is varied depending on work

To address the wait time issue‚ NCC will need to analyze the plant operations to pin-point the bottlenecks and find ways‚ e.g. redesign the plant‚ invest in resources‚ to reduce these bottlenecks. 2.

Report on the book “The Goal” by Eliyahu Goldratt and Jeff Cox I really enjoyed this book. It was easy to read and easy to comprehend. The examples used in the book make the main ideas of the book memorable and easy to understand. I loved how the authors described the thinking process of the main character‚ Alex‚ in a day to day every person’s situations. To me the main value of this book is that its main concepts are applicable to every business‚ not just manufacturing facilities. I work in marketing

CHAPTER FOUR Q4.3. Power Toys (a) Since every resource has exactly one worker assigned to it‚ the bottleneck is the assembly station with the highest processing time (#3) (b) Capacity = 1 / 90 sec = 40 units per hour (c) Direct labor cost = Labor cost per hour / flow rate = 9*$15/h / 40 trucks per hour = $3.38/truck (d) Direct labor cost in work cell= (75+85+90+65+70+55+80+65+80) sec/truck * $15/hr = $2.77/truck (e) Utilization = flow rate / capacity 85 sec / 90 sec = 94.4% (f) (g) Capacity = 1

magnitude and being done on a weekly basis would require more labor hours and truck space to carry out this massive scale of operations. To our surprise‚ they only have one truck and one driver that delivers all this amount of food. So there lies the bottleneck of this operation: they have enough food to deliver to the clients and enough clients to receive the food‚ but not enough manpower hours and truck space to do all the deliveries within a decent amount of time. Some of the delivery routes can take

Constraint Management at UniCo: Analyzing “The Goal” as Fictional Case Study Abstract As a fictional case study‚ Eliyahu Goldratt’s novel about manufacturing‚ “The Goal: A Process of Ongoing Improvement‚” presents a constraint-focused approach to production management. As a novel‚ the book does not emphasize the quantitative details of the plant improvements. However‚ a great amount of information about the plant is spread throughout the book. By collecting and analyzing this

This‚ however‚ would have an impact on the decision of the stakeholders on whether to accept this proposal or not. The Current Situation The current bottlenecks in the operation of the AA battery operation at Jaboatao are the steps “add paste to cup” and “inspect carbon rods.” These two steps operate below the required rate of production and would need to be corrected to improve productivity.

“The Goal” is a book which explains on how to go about attaining goals in real life and business. The Goal provides a convincing tale that challenges the way we look at how we evaluate operational improvement. The author identifies a larger problem where always following the company guidelines and policies in place can limit the mind of its employees. This paper will identify and discuss the essential operational decisions‚ strategies and principles used in the book and lessons learnt from the key

Identify the Binding Constraint Since management has identified that the bottleneck occurs at the coating and sharpening process production should be reduced in the cutting and chemical bath departments to meet the needs of the coating and sharpening department. This should be done regardless of the production capacity of these
