Line balancing and detailed timing

Monitor KPIs in the Line Balancing dashboard

You can monitor key performance indicators (KPIs) in the Line Balancing dashboard, and then use that information to increase efficiency on the line.

After you navigate to the Line Balancing page, you can use the information in this topic to help you balance the line.
