Abstract: In the production line system, it is of much significance to assign operation to workstations in order to balance the manufacturing workload and increase productivity under the given constraint conditions. Based on System Dynamics theory, this paper builds a simulation model of a connecting rod production line in an automobile component company. With this model, the paper analyses the balancing rate and influential factors. Then some preliminary optimization is made to improve the production line performance.

Key words: system dynamics modeling, connecting rod production line, computer simulation, production line balancing
