This study seeks to present a simple assembly line design and its balance for a low‐volume manufacturing company.

The study presents experiences with the design and implementation of a simple assembly line. The implementation concerns three aspects; design and construction of the assembly line, the assembly analysis of the product, and then balancing of the line. It also discusses construction and implementation difficulties of this tactical tool in the case company.

The study presents some outcomes from the design, implementation, and balancing of an assembly line for SMEs.

The study is limited by the case company and its experience.

This study is not pure theoretical study, it has application stages for industry, and it provides some real interface for the people from SMEs.

The approach has an original value in respect of implementation of assembly line for a small manufacturing company which has many limitations.

To share the authors' view for an enterprise formation, and a product assembly using communication and information technology in economic manner.

Comparison of the proposed system with a conventional systems. The study explains the approach with a case study.

Shows the approach abilities and the minimization cost of the product.

This approach shows communication and information technology effects on the manufacturing and assembly.

The paper has a new look on the enterprise formation, assembly, and manufacturing.

This study offers a new type of manufacturing approach. This approach may be called virtual manufacturing layouts. The study concerns basic themes of the approach. These are descriptions, elements, and use of the virtual layouts. The approach has been exemplified with a case study. Advantages and disadvantages of this type of layouts have also been summarised.
