Every company always try to fulfill their customers’ demand in order to gain maximum profit with minimum cost. To achieve that, company needs to pay attention to all aspects of the industry from upstream to downstream and create an integrated system so all processes can run effectively and efficiently. One important aspect that needs to be considered closely is production time. Company have to ensure that the production activity can be done within the time target so customers can get the right product in the right time. In the production floor, the balance of production lines is effecting the efficiency of production process. This research measures the efficiency of a manufacturing process in a generator company (DPG Inc.) based on its production time. Then, line balancing is applied to the generator manufacture line using RPW, J-Wagon, and LCR method to know the comparison of efficiency before and after line balancing applied. Based on the line efficiency, smoothness index and balance delay obtained, the best line balancing method to use in the generator manufacture line is LCR. The result is the generator manufacture line is more efficient after line balancing applied, especially using LCR method.
