“…In this study, the former is the case because the plant parameters are certain (known) and measurable. One of the key factors and performance indicators for the design and balancing of a production line is cycle time [8]. The corollary of this preceding statement is that prudent or otherwise use of cycle time affects line efficiency and ultimately loads flow.…”

Shortest product cycle time is a key criterion for job sequencing and measuring competitiveness among entrepreneurial-based firms. Now, the long waiting time of job orders constitutes a deterministic production line problem in vehicle number plate production plants in Nigeria. Case studies were conducted on those plants, confidentially identified in this paper as A, B, C, and D. Delays caused by non-value-adding work processes are major culprits among other contributors to the long queues at these plants. The value stream mapping technique was applied to identify non-value adding activities before the production line was balanced using an effective cycle time model. The index cases to a balanced line, as shown in the results, are increases in process rate by 41 %, 59 %, 42 %, and 71 % for A, B, C, and D, respectively, and overall line efficiency. Next, the system capacities correspondingly increased with the elimination of wastages. These increments imply that bottleneck activities have been minimized, and we have a balanced production line. The devised solution procedure is reliable and recommended to other line manufacturing concerns that experience delays and bottleneck problems.

Assembly line development and line balancing it is seen that there is some scope for research work in this area. It is proposed to carry out some theoretical and experimental studies on assembly line development and line balancing. Its need to providing comfort and improved working conditions so as to channelize the energy, skills of the workers into constructive productive work.Moving parts from one end of the facility to another end does not add value to the product. Thus, it is important to decrease transportation times within the manufacturing process.The elimination of waste by using lean tool is an essential ingredient for survival in today's manufacturing world. Likewise, works-inprogress should be stored as close as physically possible to the place where they will next be used.
