This paper wants to present an integrated approach to Line Balancing and Risk Assessment and a Software Tool named ErgoAnalysis that makes it easy to control the whole production process and produces a Risk Index for the actual work tasks in an Assembly Line. Assembly Line Balancing, or simply Line Balancing, is the problem of assigning operations to workstations along an assembly line, in such...

In the paper authors discuss the quality estimation of assembly line balancing problem. Task are assigned to workstations and the calculated measures show the quality of the final results. Because even optimal solutions contain idle times, the estimation of quality of end results is very important. In the literature we can find different measures but the most useful are: line efficiency, smooth...
