Production Balancing
Initial Balance - planning skills matrix operation list SMVs Running the section initial balance skills matrix W.I.P. levels Live output data
Operator information
What tasks can Recent not old they do? history How well can they Potential output do them? Factual-numerical Performance/ Based on abilitygarments per hour not previous output Hold on a skills matrix
Operator performance
Do not rely only on historical information. Circumstances may have affected performance e.g. lack of work Find out potential performance from cycle timing and come to decision about performance level to be used.
Potential performance
Find cycle time Compare with basic time. Example SMV = 0.60 Allowances = 20% Bundle handling allowance = 0.02 Average cycle time = 0.70
Potential performance
Basic time = (smv bundling) allowances = (0.60-0.02) 20% = 0.464 Basic time = 0.464 Cycle time = 0.70 Potential Performance = basic time x 100 cycle time = 0.464 = 66% 0.70
Potential performance
SMV = 0.60 Potential performance = 66% @ 100% output per hour = 60/0.60 = 100 Potential performance = 66% therefore potential output per hour = 100 x 66% = 66 pieces per hour
Potential performance
Using cycle time and potential performance is absolutely essential in effective balancing/setting up of modular manufacturing teams.

Skills Matrix
Supervisors will tell you a skills matrix is not necessary they know what people can do! Problem. What is in their head is not available to others! What if an operator changes section or the supervisor changes section or leaves. People forget things! Do not depend upon the operator to tell you what the can do.
Skills matrix
A skills matrix gives you a picture and pictures are easy to understand. At a glance you can see cover, number of operators that can do an operation You can see how multi-skilled each operator is. Helps with multi-skilling plans It is of limited value if held in the computer in Industrial engineering. Keep it up to date- people leave or learn new operations, performances change.
Initial balance
What is Shirani &Thushantis role in the section? NEVER, NEVER, EVER include the floater in the initial balance When they are included in the initial balance they are not available to perform floating jobs and cease to be a floater BEWARE: Supervisors will use floaters as repair hands, helper, trainer, sample hand or leave them where they are useful and doing a good job.
Floater calculation
Theory: Number of operators in section = 30 Average absence = 8% Floaters cover absence therefore 30 x 8% = 2.4 people missing at any time. Floaters are not specialists and will usually work at a lesser rate than regular operator, say 66% therefore 2.4/0.66 = 3.6 = 4 needed
Floater calculation
Practice Sufficient floaters are never allocated and the supervisor has to work with what she has got. Usually an inadequate floater supply mixed with a few operators that are partly multi-skilled.

Initial Balance
A perfect balance is not possible unless every operation has the same work content (SMV) and every operator works at the same performance. (this can only be achieved by restricting work supply to the lowest operation output). What efficiency? Be aware of potential imbalances One of the reasons people like modular
Section summary
High performing operators-average 99% Op. 8. sleeve attach is bottle-neck with 51 per hour only despite high performing operator. If traditional approach is taken and section is balanced to lowest operation then section under ideal circumstances will never achieve higher than 83% efficiency Not perfect but no balance will be it is manageable if we know about it and monitor the section
