Abstract
Line balance wall is a simple and easily understood method to measure a production line whether balance or not, and it is widely used in manufacturing enterprises to balance the production line. In this paper, the application of line balance wall and the way of using line balance wall to improve production efficiency have been introduced, and an assembly line of one manufacturing company has been given as an example to further show the improving effect of the application of line balance wall when it is used to improve production process in manufacturing enterprises. The meaning of this research is that introducing an effect method to production site-improvements, and line balance wall will be used more and more widely and increase the manufacturing efficiency.
