Abstract

The aim of this study is to show line balancing in a clothing manufacturing by simulation. To do this, firstly a detailed work and time studies were done among the line. Secondly, collected data was tested for distribution fit and Kolmogrov-Smirnov test for goodness of fit. Then, to set up the model, all fitted data gathered from the line was transferred to simulation model. As soon as the model was set up, it was run. The verification of model was done by comparing with the actual system. To set up the model, Enterprise Dynamics simulation program was used.
