Abstract
assembly lines are special flow lines production systems which are of great importance in industrial production of high quality standardized commodities. Assembly line balancing is a classic problem in any business. The line balancing problem is to arrange the individual processing and assembly task at the workstations, so that the total time required at each station should approximately same for smooth production flow. Assembly line balancing problem have been conventionally classified into two types that is type-1 focuses on minimizing the number of workstations for a given cycle time and type -2 is minimizing the cycle time for a fixed number of workstations. The present work study is based on comparative analysis of two heuristic methods for assembly line balancing problem. In the current case type -1 problem has been taken into consideration .a simulation software tecnomatix plant simulation is also used for simulation purpose. This software shows satisfactory result when run on the given data. The results show that by using the rpw method, there is a reduction in the number of workstations thereby reducing the requirement of human resources and improvement in line efficiency by increase in the throughput.
