Popis: Recently, an imbalance workstation in the assembly line is one of the critical problem that many companies face. Many researches have done to solve this problem with the various designs of assembly line balancing. This research presents the comparison between straight line balancing and u-shaped line balancing. Both straight line balancing and u-shaped line balancing have the same goal; minimizing the workstations. The result of this research shows that u-shaped line balancing gives a better solution than the straight line balancing in term of number of workstation. Straight line balancing is using Rank Positional Weight (RPW) whereas u-shaped line balancing is using Critical Task Method (CTM). Significantly, u-shaped line balancing is more efficient than straight line balancing.
