Abstract

This article consists of na analysis based on the technique of balancing the production line of a clothing industry located in the city of Piripiri/PI and whether this technique can increase its efficiency. On that ocasion, the type of layout of the company was identified, the stages of production of the products and their respective standard times. With this information, the productive capacity was calculated and then a study on the increase in productivity considering the idleness and utilization rates. The methodology applied was the quantitative approach, in which mathematical models were used to arrive at the result of line balancing and efficiency. It also has an application purpose and exploratory objectives in which articles, books and other resources were used as research sources for the basis of this study. The company studied has a hybrid layout, and the production cell studied, after balancing, must have one more operator to reach a 95,77% utilization rate, in addition to doubling the production capacity in relation to the current configuration.
