Production Line Balance Optimization and V-Curve
Optimal manufacturing line balance unlocks production capacity without CapEx.
An imbalanced line limits the actual volume your site can produce, regardless of your performance initiatives or line capacity. Slow starts and restarts – or poor equipment set-ups – prevent your team from reaching peak production capacity.
Balance the line and set speeds by V-Curve to meet your production targets without significant facility upgrades or capital investment.
Poor production line balance is like wasting free production capacity.
Lineview’s Value Engineering is characterized by its rigorous, ROI-focused process that ensures optimal performance across your manufacturing operations.
Fully guided process
Audit data, methodology and line balancing software, all in one
Not just production line balancing software, our team provides a guaranteed manufacturing line balance step-change. We’ll guide you through a data-informed audit, implement five levels of control and train your team to use LineView’s line balancing software – all for long-term results.
Built-in benchmarking
Line balance scores make benchmarking easy
Making production line balancing easy is the key to lasting results. Easy-to-understand production line balance scores for every product type with built-in baseline comparisons are built-in within LineView’s line balancing software. Teams can benchmark live data vs. historical- so you’ll never lose your capacity gains.
Additional performance gains
Optional controls to automate restarts and recover speed
Optional manufacturing line balance control unlocks additional performance gains between 2-5%. This supervisory line control module sets optimal restart times on core machines (filler, labeler, packer) to accelerate recovery after downtime.
Proven manufacturing LBO™ methodology for instant 6-10% OEE performance gains
Manufacturing Line Balance Optimisation, built on our Perfect Flow Model, is a 5-step process to improve your V-Curve setup, maximise your build-back accumulation and control your line without manual interventions.
Rising operational cost and inflationary pressure
Operational expenses in the food and beverage industry continue to rise annually. While raw material, labor, and indirect costs surge, manufacturers can control their manufacturing process costs. Our customers attest to our ability to not only reduce operating expenses but also boost revenue by millions.
Sustainability challenges and resource optimization
Sustainability goes beyond greenwashing; global governmental bodies are enforcing stricter environmental laws and reporting.
Moreover, the availability of raw materials such as ground water is reducing each day. 1 out of 3 manufacturing plants are in water scarce regions. Lineview understands your commitment towards net zero carbon emissions and reducing water & energy wastage. By optimizing plant processes, Lineview minimizes resource use and emissions while enhancing productivity.
Digital Transformation made easy
We recognize that not everyone is tech-savvy. That’s why Lineview is user-friendly and intuitive. Our expert team collaborates with you, allowing you to focus on your work while improving results. Unlike traditional MES or SCADA systems, Lineview offers fast and easy ROI. Out-of-the-box insights empower team leaders to focus on actions rather than time-consuming DIY reporting. Plus, teams can immediately see the impact of their actions, leading to faster order-to-delivery times.
Increasing employee turnover and lack of expert workforce
The manufacturing industry faces a dual challenge: rising employee turnover and a shortage of experienced workforce. As seasoned workers retire, companies struggle to find skilled replacements. This dearth of expertise impacts productivity, quality, and innovation.
With over 20 years of industry expertise, LineView focuses on training programs, mentorship, and knowledge transfer to bridge the skills gap and retain talent.
