This study was conducted in order to enhance the productivity of a packaging line of a Kaoliang Spirit factory in China. With the use of comparative methodology using a computer-simulated technique for comparison of various alternative models, the packaging line selected as the test subject was able to display a relatively superior alternative to the existing model. Alternative 1 was formulated in accordance with the concept of line balancing and the re-allocation of workers with no significant changes in that it was done in consideration of the re-distribution of the work time that was already put into use, which was dictated by the company's regulations on line formulations; which states that the inspector should be separated from other processes to ensure the maintenance of a certain degree of product quality. Alternative.2 was formulated, all the conditions remaining the same except this time disregarding the company's regulations on line formulations-when put into comparison it proved to be the most productive alternative by showing the highest product output, decreased waiting time and low work-in-process level. The research showed that the company's regulation on line formulation proved to be that main cause which was holding down the level of productiveness of the packaging line of the Kaoliang Spirits factory the research selected.
