Effects of step-by-step line balancing in apparel assembly line

The mixed work assignment technique was applied to the modular production concept solve apparel assembly line balancing problem. Specifically, an algorithm implemented generate workstations by first classifying tasks into modules through analysis of manufacturing process and assigning grouped in single task–multiple workers multiple tasks–single worker methods. Then, sequentially performed considering skill level worker. A simulation producing 100 men’s shirts performed. Owing balancing, total time considerably lower than that reported previous studies. enhanced performance attributable fact unlike studies limited problem assignment, both task this study. results demonstrated must be considered design stage
