Abstract: Abstract One station assembly is described in the context of a shoe manufacturing plant where one worker is assigned a set of shoes by style and size to assemble all alone. The worker is given a batch of the items to produce, and is provided all the parts and components needed to complete the task. Multiple pairs are assigned to the worker; typically six to twelve pair at one time. The worker completes all the pairs in the batch prior to starting the next assignment. This is an example of one-station assembly. In other situations, the workers are assigned one unit at a time, as in engine assembly.
