JACK AUTOMOTIVE LINE BALANCING STRATEGY 31.1 IntroductionThis project mainly reflects on the topic “Improvement of overall efficiency of production line by using line balancing” as part of Masters in management for engineers. It is identified that in management for engineers, improvement of efficiency of the production line is one of the important field because it improves the efficiency of the automotive jack assembly production line. It is found that production line must be managed appropriately by a company formaximizing the productivity. An engineer with proper knowledge about management is very much necessary for improving the efficiency of production line and eliminating waste from the entire production chain for enhancing productivity of the company.1.2 Definition of terms1.2.1 Talk time: time needed to perform a given task normally expressed in minutes. It is a pre-requisite in balancing tasks. Talk time marges production with customer’ demands. Producing faster than talk time causes over production whereas producing slower than talk time creates bottlenecks (Elbert, 2013).1.2.3 Bottleneck: delayed transmission in production process.1.2.4 Productivity: output ratio verses input. It is determined by worker’s skills, technology, andmachinery. 1.2.5 Workstation: a place set aside for specific work with tools and equipment.1.2.6 Downtime: a period when no value is added to production. It is associated with wastessuch as overproduction, long waiting period, transportation, and inappropriate processing.

JACK AUTOMOTIVE LINE BALANCING STRATEGY 41.3 Research aimThe aim of this research is to access the impact of improving overall efficiency of productionline using line balancing.1.4 Research questionsFollowing are the research question that is developed to examine the implications of line balancing to Jack automotive company and other related industries investing in assembling production design. These are:i.How the efficiency of production line is improved?ii.What is usefulness of line balancing in production line?iii.What is the role of management engineers in production line?iv.How the efficiency of production line is improved?1.4 MethodologyData collection is about empirical evidences. The study used survey method to measure proponents related line production within automotive industries with Jack automotive as a major case of study. Both qualitative and quantitative approaches were used to obtain data. Bernard, Moxnes, Saito, & National Bureau of Economic Research (2015) define data analysis as a process of systematically searching, organizing, arranging, and breaking data into manageable units. Data was presented qualitatively. 2.0 Critical literature review
