| Summary: | The competition in electronics industry has become harder recently. It is because not only conventional CPT (Cathode Picture Tube) but also flatron also fulfilled the electronics market. PT LG Philips Displays Indonesia had their own mission to face the competition in order to be the market leader. One of the missions is to optimize their resources to create qualified product through productivity enhancement. This enhancement could be achieved by striving after a full contribution toward value added-productive activities production process and to minimize non productive activities. The purpose of this research is balancing the assembly line using motion time study approach for mount assy process in order to minimize or vanish bottleneck and idle condition in each work station because of ineffective and un efficient manual material handling. The result of this research is the total production time of one holder mount before material handling improvement is 259,95 seconds and after the improvement is 252,28 seconds. Before the improvement, material handling spend 16,7 seconds, in details, before mount tilt process is 15,3 seconds and after mount tilt process is 1,4 seconds. Meanwhile, material handling after the improvement needs 9,03 seconds, in details, before mount tilt process 8,4 seconds and after mount tilt process 0,63 seconds. The bottleneck which is happened in welding station decreases from 9,45 seconds before material handling improvement to 1,78 seconds after material handling improvement. Idle or delay in final inspect station, decreases also from 7,95 seconds before improvement to 0,28 seconds after improvement.
Keywords: balancing, assembly line, material handling.
