Project objective

• Use software (e.g., FlexSim, Tecnomatix) to simulate and balance workloads across stations.
• Improve assembly line performance by applying line balancing techniques and cycle time optimization.

What you will do

• Build and validate simulation models of existing assembly lines using industrial simulation tools (FlexSim, Tecnomatix or similar).
• Analyze station workloads, identify bottlenecks and propose layout or task redistribution to achieve balanced takt times.
• Produce and interpret Yamazumi charts and other visualizations to support balancing decisions.

Required expertise & tools

• Understanding of production and assembly line operations and line balancing techniques (e.g., Yamazumi charts, cycle time optimization).
• Experience with simulation or industrial engineering tools (FlexSim, Tecnomatix, or equivalent) and data analysis for throughput and resource utilization.

Department, supervision & logistics

• Department: Methods.
• Number of trainees: 1.
• This PFE involves close collaboration with production and methods teams to collect cycle times, station tasks and validation data.
