Abstract
This paper proposes an effective design procedure of multi-item plural-line production system, aiming to provide a relevant tool for reconfiguring production systems in the current volatile market environment. The procedure consists of four steps, i.e. proximity analysis of production items, creation of integrated precedence network of operations, line balancing procedure and performance evaluation. A case study is also carried out for validity check in collaboration with a small/medium manufacturing company.
