Line Balancing to balance Cycle time and Takt Time
Tags: Cycle time, Lean Manufacturing, line balancing, Takt time
Line balancing is an attempt to balance the input and output of each machine in a series of production processes, to minimize the idle time on all stations for a certain output level. The purpose of line balancing is to obtain a smooth production flow of WIP problems, delays in the process, repair time and so on, so as to achieve a high level of efficiency in terms of manpower, facilities and time required to produce / process the given input.
Now there are still a lot of line balancing practices based on traditional approaches that only after balancing the load of each station regardless of the WIP generated. It is quite impossible if the target optimal load flow gain of 100%, in the sense that each process has a perfect balance and have a perfect efficiency.

Changing paradigms and patterns of employees think the company and all of the components is not an easy job. Behavior to make the process of formation of sigma lean into the work culture within a company requires hard work and sustained effort. Hard work requires a strong will and an integrated system starting from the top manager to field employees..
Generally accepted concept of lean sigma regardless of industry and services. All types of companies can be conditioned in the application of lean sigma concept for performance and quality of expected output.
