Assembly Line Balancing to Improve Productivity using Work Sharing Method in Garment Factories

The garment factories are always trying to improve production and the quality of the garments to sustain in the enormous competitive market. This paper is about the productivity improvement by reducing cycle time with work sharing in garment factories. A garment factory manufactures different types of garments. In many types of garment productions, this paper is to improve productivity of lady pencil skirts production process. Overall efficiency of single model assembly line by reducing the non value added activities, cycle time and distribution of work load at each work station by line balancing. For that, the productivity improvement is shown by two ways. The first way is proper training and supervision for activities and the second is work sharing with same type of jobs and skills. Keywords Cycle Time, Line Balancing, Productivity, Training, Work Sharing.
