ABSTRACT

The application of fuzzy logic in balancing a single model tricycle assembly line is presented in this study. MATLAB simulation software was used in the analysis of the primary and secondary data obtained from the assembly line under study. Results obtained from the study show that the efficiency of the line increased from 88.1% to 92.4%. The total idle time was also reduced by 56.5%. This indicates an improvement in the efficiency of the line, reduction of bottleneck, and even distribution of tasks along the line for the company under study.
