Abstract: Assembly Line Balancing is the problem of assigning operations to workstations along an assembly line; in such a way that the assignment be optimal in some case. The minimization of the number of workstations and maximization of the production efficiency are the most common goals in the line balancing. In this article two heuristic approaches are applied which are Ranked Positional Weight and largest candidate techniques. And also reviews of different article in the area of assembly line balancing techniques and tries to find out best techniques. The aim of this article is focusing on increasing the accuracy of standard time by time study and rearranging the work arrangement among the operators and work stations through line balancing techniques and comparison of the efficiencies and delay times in two techniques which are applied in the garment industry for the purpose of solving garment problems. By taking different consideration like, number of stations, task time and cycle time to reach final conclusion.
Keywords: Assembly Line balancing, Line balancing techniques, and standard time.
