This research paper investigates the optimization of takt time efficiency in a bicycle assembly line by employing line balancing techniques, specifically focusing on the Maynard Operation Sequence Technique (MOST). With a backdrop of the crucial need for enhanced productivity and cost-effectiveness in manufacturing, particularly in the bicycle industry, the study underscores the significance of takt time and line balancing in lean manufacturing. Through a case study methodology involving observational data the research identifies bottlenecks and proposes the implementation of the MOST technique to rebalance workloads, minimize idle time, and synchronize operations. The findings demonstrate the effectiveness of the MOST approach in streamlining production flow and reducing cycle times, aligning the assembly line with customer demand. This research contributes to advancing manufacturing principles and provides practical insights into optimizing operational efficiency in bicycle assembly processes, showcasing the applicability of line balancing techniques like MOST across various manufacturing contexts.
