Abstract: This study is realized with the purpose to analyse the impact of line balancing on the efficiency of the production in garment companies. A line is defined as a group of operators under the control of production supervisors. Balancing of the production line means maintaining the same level of inventory at each and every operation at any point of time to meet the production targets, to produce garments of acceptable quality and to increase the efficiency of the line. The study is realized in a garment company in Tirana, which produces swimwear for an Italian customer. The paper presents the analysis of line balance and its efficiency. In this study it is analyzed the actual layout and line balance plan, and it is compared with the calculated one. Also, there are done time measurements for every work operation to calculate Standard Allocated Minutes and to get better production targets.

Keywords: Line balancing, layout, efficiency, standard allocated minutes
