Rank Positional weight
(RPW) for assembly line
balancing
HEURISTIC METHOD
Rank positional weight
 It is a heuristic algorithm used to solve the assembly line balancing
problem. This methods depends on the processing times for all tasks and
their followers.
RPW Example
 The below figure shows the tasks, times and precedence relation for each
element used in cashew machine assembly.
Tas Time

Description Predecessor
1 20 Frame assembly -
2 20 Cutter assembly 1
3 45 Motor assembly 2
4 10 Crank assembly 3
5 7 Pickup assembly 2
6 5 Belt cover assembly 5
7 8 Cup assembly 5
8 20 Bucket and disk assembly with
shaft

9 15 Feed motor and belt assembly 5
10 5 Circuit assembly 5
11 4 Hopper assembly 6,7,8,9,10
12 45 Connect wires 11,4
13 6 Outer cover assembly 12
Precedence diagram
RPW solution method
 1-draw precedence diagram.
 2- for each task find the transitive followers (followers of followers till you
reach the end of the graph).
 3- calculate the RPW for each task (i). (RPW(i)= time of the task (i)+
summation of times of tasks in the transitive followers (i)
 4-re-arrange tasks according to their RPW in descending order
 5-open a work station and assign the feasible tasks till the cycle time is
reached or no more assignable tasks in the station.
 6- Repeat step 5 till all tasksare added to work stations.
