Line Balancing Training
Balance Your Line and Smooth Your Production Flow
Uneven workloads, fluctuating demand, and poorly sequenced tasks can silently reduce efficiency and increase lead times. In this hands-on training, you’ll learn proven methods to balance your production line, level capacity, and optimize workflows for consistent, predictable flow—even in mixed-model and variable-demand environments.
Balance your line, so work is evenly distributed.
Understand Why Many Lines Lose Efficiency
Many production lines appear to run smoothly, yet hidden inefficiencies from uneven workloads or ad-hoc adjustments can disrupt flow. You’ll learn how to uncover the true sources of imbalance that reduce throughput, increase waste, and limit overall production efficiency.
Don’t fear more complex setups.
The basics are still the same!
Level Production and Handle Mixed Models
This course covers practical strategies for mixed-model production, capacity leveling, and planning weekly patterns and daily mixes. You’ll discover how to manage fluctuating demand without overproduction, ensuring your line remains efficient, stable, and adaptable to customer needs.
Learn how to handle different model variants.
Aim for One-Piece Flow and Lot-Size-One Production
Learn how to synchronize processes, reduce work-in-progress, and approach one-piece flow or lot-size-one production. You’ll see how balanced workloads and effective leveling create a flexible, reliable line that maintains high throughput and responds quickly to changing demand.
The more complex it gets, the more lot-size-one you’ll need.
