What is Line Balancing?



Answer:

In mass garment manufacturing, number of sewing operators are involved making a garment. When number of operators work on different operations in making a garment they form a production line or production batch.
The process of planning to smooth work  flow with steady supply of work for each operation in the production line is called as line balancing. If a line is not   
balanced work will not move smoothly to all operations and after few hours of work start some of the operators will be finished with work and they will sit idle. Thus utilization of manpower resource will be less.
