Line Balancing Analysis of a Multi-Products Processing with a Single Type of Supply

Line Balancing Analysis of a Multi-Products Processing with a Single Type of Supply

To compete in an ever growing manufacturing environment, companies have to improve their productivity. This study describes the improvement activities of an SME company in Kuantan, Pahang by using a line balancing technique. With these improvement techniques, the company managed to reduce the total...
