Abstract :
Based on the investigation of automobile interior decoration assembling line, this paper uses the time study approaches to measure the operating time of the interior decoration assembling line, identifies the bottleneck positions, analyzes the current problems in the assembling line by "5W1H" technology; and balances the assembling line on the basis of activity analysis methods (AAM), ECRS (Eliminate, Combine, Rearrange, and Simplify) and the assembling line balancing theory, and finally improves the productivity.
