Line Balancing in Manufacturing | Training
Effective Line Balancing forms the core of every successful organization as they strive to increase productivity without incurring unnecessary costs gathers steam.
Cellular manufacturing produces families of parts within a single line operated by machinists who work only within the line or cell.
Course Objective
