from raw materials and semi productspass through many tasks, these tasks differ in numbers and complexity with the productdifferece, design specifications, and also the production system type. Tasks timedifferential cause work in process inventory problem or idle time problem in someworkstations of the line. These problems affect efficiency of the line and increase thetotal production cost. In this research, computer aided visual monitoring system designsand builds for monitoring the flow of materials and determine location and quantity ofwork in process inventory in the production line to minimize this problems by rearrangeworkstations of the line and connecting the critical stations that materials blocked in itwith extra stations in parallel to minimize the work in process inventory amongworkstations of the line possiblely to minimum level to increase the flow of materialsand then to the increases efficiency of the line .The suggested system applied at the statecompany for electrical industries on the stator production line where the system uses formonitoring & studying flow of materials between its workstations. The researcherdepends on company data&his grouping data. Monitoring &studying the currentworkstations arrangement shows low efficiency (50.96%) and low daily production rate(270 unite/day), so arrange workstations of the line by suggested arrangement, canincrease the line efficiency to (77.96%)and also can increase daily production rate to(540unite/day) by arrange the line workstations by suggested arrange
