This document describes the Rank Positional Weight (RPW) heuristic method for solving assembly line balancing problems. It provides an example of applying RPW to tasks for assembling a cashew machine. The key steps of the RPW method are: 1) drawing a precedence diagram of tasks and their time requirements, 2) calculating the RPW for each task based on its time plus the times of following tasks, 3) sorting tasks by descending RPW, and 4) assigning tasks to work stations while balancing cycle time until all tasks are assigned. The example shows the RPW calculations and demonstrates assigning the sorted tasks to four balanced work stations. Contact information is provided to purchase RPW software.
