This study aims to analyze the production line balance to minimize bottlenecks and waiting times in the cardboard packaging production process at PT. XYZ. The initial production line, consisting of 5 workstations, exhibited low efficiency, with a line efficiency of 40.84%, a balance delay of 59.16%, and a smoothness index of 13.189. The approach used to address this workload imbalance issue is the Ranked Positional Weight (RPW) method. The analysis results recommend a structural change by consolidating work elements into 3 integrated workstations. This proposed improvement yields a significant increase in line performance, with line efficiency rising to 68.06%, balance delay decreasing to 31.94%, and the smoothness index improving to 7.135. In conclusion, the RPW method has proven effective in balancing the production line and improving production efficiency.
