Investigation Of Production Line Balancing For Assembling 12.7mm Aag To Enhance Productivity In Medium Caliber Gafat Armament Industry

Abstract

The Optimization Of The Assembly Line Balancing For 12.7mm Aag Products In The Gafat Armament Engineering Industry Was Conducted To Improve Productivity. The Existing Production Or Assembling Line Was Evaluated As The Standard To Enhance Efficiency. In The Production Process, Assembly Line Balancing Was Conducted. The Problem Of Existing Line Balancing Was Time Wastage Due To Allocating Tasks Among Workstations So That Facilities And Personnel Were Insuffently Used While The Work Sequence Was Upheld. In This Study, The Multiproduct Assembly Line Balancing Problem (Malbp) For The Hybrid System And The Rank Positional Weight Approach For Type I Of The Simple Assembly Line Balancing Problem (Salb P) Were Described. Assigning Tasks To Work Stations So That The Number Of Stations Was Kept To A Minimum For A Given Production Rate And Cycle Time Was A Component Of Both Malbp And Salbp Type I (Salbp-1). In Order To Sustain And Create Competitive Advantages, To Reduce Labor Overload In Order To Boost Assembly Production Efficiency And Decrease Time Wastage Between Workstations. Therefore, An Effective Line Balanced Was Suggested In Light Of The Manufacturing Areas. Utilizing Stopwatch Time And Data Observation, The Efficiency Was Optimized From 74 Percent To 103Percent By Applying The Rank Position Weighted Heuristic Approach. In Order To Organize The Work Components Into The Workstation Using The Line Balancing Technique, A New Work Sequence Has Also Been Devised.
