Abstract

In the light of the high practical significance of assembly line balance(ALB),it is not surprising that a substantial body of academic literature covers configuration planning of assembly system. This paper focus is on practical use of the theorem of ALB.A consideration of this methodology as it pertains to bicycle assembly by identifying the parts and procedure; the precedence diagram of part constructed and workstation defined with cycle time of 18seconds implemented.The idle time iseliminated and workstation constraint optimized.
