Industrial and Production Engineering Final Year Topic: Investigation of Mixed-Model Assembly Line Balance

This Industrial and Production Engineering final year project investigates balancing fictional assembly tasks when product variants require different work, connecting a bounded production decision to explicit data, constraints and reproducible comparison criteria.

Why choose this project topic?

The topic gives balancing fictional assembly tasks when product variants require different work a practical industrial-engineering scope without assuming access to an entire factory. Comparing idle time, overload and line efficiency supports process diagrams, simulations or evidence reviews and helps explain why an apparent improvement may depend on its assumptions.

How do the selected production-system policies or assumptions affect idle time, overload and line efficiency when balancing fictional assembly tasks when product variants require different work?

Choose a fictional production case, permitted dataset or harmless approved teaching task, then agree the workload and comparison criteria for balancing fictional assembly tasks when product variants require different work.

Proposed project objectives

  1. 01Define the production process, evidence and constraints required for balancing fictional assembly tasks when product variants require different work.
  2. 02Create synthetic precedence networks, compare assignment heuristics and test changing product mix under fixed station capacity.
  3. 03Compare idle time, overload and line efficiency and report uncertainty, trade-offs and limits of application.

A suggested research approach

Create synthetic precedence networks, compare assignment heuristics and test changing product mix under fixed station capacity. Identify synthetic inputs and obtain permission for any real observations or participant tasks. Keep a documented baseline, inspect sensitivity to uncertain assumptions, and compare idle time, overload and line efficiency without treating a modelled improvement as a verified factory outcome.

What you will need

  • Synthetic task times
  • Precedence diagrams
  • Line-balancing software

Keep your project scope clear

The model does not establish safe work rates or predict an actual factory's productivity.
