Abstract

Methods and a system include getting, for each variant, input on a probability of occurring and inputs on a variant assigned workload time for a given resource. For each resource of the line, each variant is represented with a graphic object having a first measurable parameter representing the variant probability and a second measurable parameter representing the variant assigned workload time. At least one resource requiring workload balancing on a specific variant is determined by taking into account a combination of the first measurable parameter and the second measurable parameter of the specific variant.
