    The RPW method is a 5-step process for assigning work elements to workstations in a production line while balancing the workload and adhering to precedence constraints. It involves drawing a precedence diagram, calculating positional weights and ranked positional weights for each work element, ranking the elements by RPW, and assigning elements to stations starting with the highest RPW while ensuring the cycle time is not violated. The document provides an example of applying the RPW method to assign 10 tasks with varying task times to 5 workstations for producing 500 wagons per day within a 420 minute production time.

    RPW Method

    Step 1 ---Draw the precedence diagram

    Step 2 -- For each work element determine the


    positional weight. It is the total time on the longest
    path from the beginning of operation to the last
    operation of the network.

    Step 3 – Rank the work elements in the descending


    order of ranked positional weight ( R.P.W)
    Step 4 Assign the work element to a station. Choose
    the highest RPW element. Then select the next one.
    Continue till cycle time is not violated. Follow the
    precedence constraints also.

    Step 5 - Repeat step 4 till all operations are allotted


    to one station.
