Enhancing Assembly Line Balancing Performance Using Simulation-Based Approach to Promote Sustainable Business Within Manufacturing

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: This research examines the integration of Lean Manufacturing (LM) principles with simulation-based methods to enhance line balancing (LB) within the automotive industry. It underscores the growing need for efficient and cost-effective production systems in response to intensifying global bisness competition. By employing simulation techniques, the research seeks to overcome the limitations of traditional line balancing approaches and broaden their applicability, particularly in sectors such as garment manufacturing. The findings emphasize the pivotal role of LM in elevating operational performance, identifying Lean principles as key enablers of improved customer satisfaction, reduced operational costs, and increased productivity. The primary objective of this research is to utilize simulation tools and LB methodologies as core LM instruments to address production system challenges. Through a suggested methodological framework, the project seeks to reduce bottlenecks, facilitate more informed decision-making, and systematically collect performance data through simulation. The scope includes using line balance and simulation to increase productivity up to 10.% and grow the business among automakers.
