AVIX Resource balance

Line balancing software for balancing work between workstations & operators

Efficient flow optimization

In AVIX Resource Balance the work operations are balanced between the different workstations and internally between the operators. AVIX Resource Balance has the capability of handling multiple operators as well as man-machine operations.

AVIX visualizes (graphically and numerically) losses caused by an unbalanced workflow.

The final outcome from the software is reduced balancing losses and the possibility to create new work instructions.

Combining AVIX Resource Balance with AVIX Ergo makes is possible to apply the line balancing activity not only from a workload perspective, but also from an ergonomic perspective. Utilizing the ergonomic model REBA, you can visualize the balance result in terms of both workload (time) but also physiological stress levels.

Correct input

AVIX Resource Balance uses the time analysis from AVI X Method. Production lines can be simulated with all possible data to simplify working with line balancing in a fast and easy manner. The data is linked together making sure any time changes are reflected in real time. This means you will always have up-to-date data in your line balance analysis.

Variant management

Companies without a great number of variants (product options) are rare! Using AVIX Resource Balance makes it possible to use logic rules when working with multiple variants. This makes it easy to see how different variants (product options) will impact the workload on each workstation in the workflow. It also gives the possibility to see how different product mixes will affect the line balance.

Maximum control

When you balance the workload in AVIX Resource Balance you will have full control over process steps, parts and tools. Moving process steps between workstations to even out the workload will automatically move all data linked to the process steps making the data management easy. Did we mention this also enables generating unique work instructions based on the specific product configuration?

Frequently
asked
questions

What industries can benefit from AVIX Resource Balance?

Any manufacturing/process industry that either assembles products or has a manual process with a need for showing and working with line balancing data (Yamazumi charts). It can be a classic line scenario with X stations staffed with one operator/station, or more complex set-ups with multiple operators working together. In the latter case, the logic of the work sequence can be added, for example, assembling brake discs before assembling the wheels. This type of logic between process steps also makes AVIX Resource Balance useful in creating man-machine (GANTT) charts.

How does AVIX Resource Balance handle multiple product variants?

AVIX Resource Balance has built-in features for creating and balancing unique variants/product configurations, showing how different customer options affect the cycle time and line balance. The product specifications/configurations can be imported or created directly in AVIX and can use AND, OR, and NOT operators to automatically create a work sequence based on the configuration of the product.

Can AVIX Resource Balance be customized to fit specific organizational needs?

Yes, AVIX Resource Balance, like the rest of the AVIX Suite, is developed in-house, which means we have full flexibility in its development. It comes as a ready-to-use solution to support efficient resource balancing, but we recognize that every organization has unique needs. If necessary, customized functionalities can be implemented on top of the core AVIX installation to better align with specific processes.
