Balancing and Optimization of Vacuum Cleaner Assembly Line

Article Preview

Abstract:

The article elaborates the fundamental notion theory of assembly line balancing, aiming at F company’s assembly line actuality. It solves the practical problem occurred on production line by using heuristic method, and finally uses the methods of allocation in operations research. After the manufactory line balancing analysis, it raises the assembly efficiency obviously. Heuristic method is simple and practical to master, and the method provided in this paper could be popularize to other similar manufacturing factory.
