Abstract :
The assembly line exists widely in manufacturing systems. The problems of assembly line balance directly affect the productivity of manufacturing systems. The paper is focused on assembly line for BSP models of a company, balance for which is to be improved through industrial engineering methods. Balance of the assembly line is studied by system simulation technology. By using Simulation - Balance - Simulation method, comparative analysis on the important indicator and station utilization before and after the balance is carried out, so as to achieve balanced processes load, improve assembly line balancing rate, reduce waste and production costs.
