The use of Lines of Balance has been constantly associated to Location Based Planning, it has been known as a useful tool for visually displaying the crews flowing through locations. However, there is a lack of analytical studies about line of balance scheduling and its implications on the workflow of the crews. This study aims to analyse the effect of a group of variables associated to lines of balance scheduling and their impacts on the flow of the work crews. To achieve that, a case study was followed in an iterative sequence to describe the main analytical considerations regarding Lines of Balance and the impacts on the flow of production crews.
