Abstract: Abstract The balance of production line would definitely help the workers and facilities increase the operational efficiency. Computer modeling and simulation can shorten the R&D cycle, predict and optimize the layout of production line. After analyzing the gearbox assembly line and drawing flow charts, we can work out a simulation model and then use Flexsim software and heuristic balancing algorithm to make gearbox assembly line more reasonable. By comparing the balance of gearbox assembly line. From the comparison of the indicators before and after simulation and the utilization of the station, we can firmly draw the conclusion that the transmission efficiency of assembly line production is significantly improved.
