Research on 5S Concept Used in Production Line Balance Based on Line Balance Chart Method-S Production Line as an Example

Abstract:

5S concept has a great effect on site-improvements, and it has been used to promote productivity, improve the environment of production process, and upgrade the working ability of workers etc. In this paper, 5S concept has been used to balance the production line, and S production line has been shown as an example. In addition, line balance chart and production line utilization rate calculation method have been used to exhibit the effect of 5S site-improvements on production line balance and increasing productivity.
