Line balancingsoftware offers ease of use and interoperability and greatly expand the analysis, charting, and reporting currently available for single and mixed model line balancing.
Proplanner launch the latest release of their Line Balancing software, v1.3 Dr Dave Sly, CEO of Proplanner, said. ''Our new Line Balancing application is setting the industry standard for ease of use and interoperability. The features in this release were designed to greatly expand the analysis, charting, and reporting currently available for single and mixed model line balancing.' Proplanner's Line balancing software is designed to interoperate with MS Excel as well as Proplanner Process Engineering Database, allowing users to quickly design efficient product systems in both single and mixed-model environments.

The Line Balancing software uses the COMSOAL algorithm to assign tasks to stations while preserving precedence, co-dependency, and resource constraints.

Additionally users can manipulate the assignments manually and investigate the impact of various derivative 'take rates' on the plan.

Comprehensive reporting includes not only station assignment and utilisation reports but also Ergonomic Factor Analysis showing the impact of the 'stacked' ergonomic hazards for a given assignment plan.
