Abstract
In a “Self-Balancing Production Line”, each worker is assigned work dynamically, thus they can keep the balanced production under satisfying the specific conditions. For structure of line, in-tree assembly network line has been analyzed in previous paper. In that paper, line are virtually integrated to one and slowest to fastest sequence can be balanced under the integrated line. However, if an item consists of multiple parts and parallel work is possible, a new approach is applicable under the condition, and performance measure increase comparing to integrated line. In this paper, new integrated approach for both previous self-balancing line and buffer is proposed, and we compare the line that had been proposed in the previous paper.
