Creating a smooth work flow in apparel industry, which is usually done by using line
balancing algorithms, is a diverse and complicated task. Line balancing in apparel
manufacturing deals with allocating the resources such as workers and machinery to the
assembly line so that the precedence relations are satisfied and the sum of task times at
any workstation does not exceed cycle time. Effective line balancing algorithms, which take
into consideration the stochastic nature of apparel production, help to accurately estimate
the throughput of production lines. Our aims in this study were to suggest a heuristic
algorithm for line balancing and to evaluate its effectiveness under different line
configurations using simulation.
