From the Type I balance the user can see that station ST03 has a monumental resource violation (task T06). A resource Fixture02 is not available at the station. Fixture02 has been defined as a monumental resource, this implies that it cannot be moved from its assigned station.

2.

The user can now assign the resource to any station.  For this example, Fixture02 is assigned to station ST04. In order to do the same, click on view - station editor, then click on the resource column for station ST04 and select the resource Fixture02. If the line is then rebalanced with the same Takt time and the monumental resource box checked, the following balance is generated.

3.

The above balance shows that the activity T06 now gets assigned to station ST04. This results in the whole balance moving up by one station. A station New1 is then created to accommodate the shift.

The monumental resources and the stations they belong to should be kept in mind while drawing the precedence diagram. A task that needs a tool which is on the latter half of the line will create a rift in the balance.
