Research on line balancing continues to develop as an effort to increase the productivity and efficiency of production systems in various industrial sectors, such as manufacturing, textiles, automotive, electronics, construction, printing, and even the craft industry. Based on the results of a review of various previous studies, the Ranked Positional Weight (RPW) method is one of the heuristic methods that is widely used because it is able to balance the workload between stations by arranging work elements based on position weights. Most studies show that the application of RPW can improve line efficiency, reduce balance delay, idle time, and smoothness index, so that production flows more smoothly and productivity increases. The results of the study indicate that the RPW method can be applied to various characteristics of the production process and provides a significant increase in line efficiency.
