Abstract

The circuit board final assembly process is discussed as an application example in this study. In order to find the bottleneck stations where the production efficiency are low, work measurement is employed to determine operation time of every station. The paper applies analytical methods of process, operation and movement of work study to analyze the assembly line. Then the technique of 5W1H, ECRS and economic principle of motion is applied to improve the bottleneck. Through good results in comparison with the old scheme, the balance rate is increased and the product efficiency is enhanced.
