Abstract

In order to improve the current situation along the production line of a Home Theatre, a method of line balancing should be implememented. The difference of workload is the cause problem which affects the output produced. This leads to an idle time in the production process resulting in loss of production capacity. This research uses a method of Rank Positional Weight to solve the problem. The aim of this research is to get a proposed line with a higher efficiency than the imbalance workload in the current situation. This research is started with collecting the time study and calculate the standard time. Followed by calculation of efficiencies, construction of yamazumi’s chart and precedence diagram, application of Rank Positional Weight Method, and last is calculation of efficiency of the proposed line. Keywords: assembly line balancing, Rank Positional Weight method, Yamazumi’s chart
