Duties and Responsibilities

Line Balancing

• Analyze tasks required for product assembly.
• Distribute tasks across workstations so that each station's workload aligns with the production cycle time.
• Continuously adjust task allocation as production conditions change.

Workflow Optimization

• Identify and eliminate bottlenecks in the production line.
• Reduce idle time and unnecessary waiting between stations.
• Improve overall line efficiency and throughput.

Production Monitoring

• Track performance metrics such as:
• Cycle time
• Takt time
• Workstation utilization
• Throughput rate
• Ensure the line consistently meets production demand targets.

Process Improvement

• Conduct time studies and motion studies.
• Apply Lean Manufacturing principles to reduce waste.
• Implement improvements such as workstation redesign, task reallocation, or automation.
