Abstract
In order to remain competitive in the market, industries have to manufacture more quality products and at the same time have to reduce costs. The main aim of any industry is to increase productivity to meet customer requirements. One of the techniques that industries use is the Line Balancing technique to enhance productivity and to reduce waste. Line balancing can be implemented to reduce the overburdening faced by the operator to distribute the work content equally among operators and at the point where bottle neck occurs. In this paper line, the balancing technique is applied in the crankshaft cell 3 assembly line in an automotive industry. The current study in the crankshaft cell 3 assembly line is carried out to remove wastes and to come up with ideas to solve them. After implementing the Line balancing technique, it resulted in a reduction of manpower from 4 to 3.
