Abstract
In this study the simulation of assembly line with work element times and assembly times is performed, and the relationship attained between the minimum work stations between work element time and cycle time is revealed. The application of the results to assembly line system is suggested. The minimum work stations can be obtained by increasing the cycle time relative to the work element time. The relationship between work element time, total assembly time and cycle time that can obtain the minimum work stations with a more than 95 percent probability is revealed. If it is difficult to practice the system of such minimum work stations, adding one more station is desirable.
