Abstract

This paper describes a Clue study conducted at a man.ufacturing company (limed at improving
productivity using tine balancing. Two alternatives were generated using different assignment
rules. However selection of the most suituhle alternatives cannot be made based on line
balancing alone as they appear similar based on line balance loss. Thus the robustness of the
alternatives were tesled and evaluated using a 16 factorial ANOYA. Selection of rhe mosr
suitable solution is then made based on these results.
