Abstract:

The low production efficiency and the long production cycle are among the common problems in the clothing industry. A method for balancing the production line with automatic workstation scheduling and production simulation was proposed. By analyzing the influencing factors for balancing the garment production line, the garment production model using topology model and genetic algorithms was developed to optimize the production schedule using MatLab (R2016b). Based on the optimized schedule, simulation technology was adopted to further improve the flow balance, considering the order quantity and equipment status. The production flow was simulated according to actual production line formulation using the Plant Simulation software. Quantitative and visual simulation results were obtained, supporting the re-optimization of the production flow balance. The proposed method was verified with real production data. An efficiency of 90.8% was achieved for experimental production line, representing a 12.8% improvement comparing with the actual production data. It shows that the proposed method can shorten the production cycle, and it provides ideas for the development of the garment production flow optimization and simulation system.

Key words: garment production line, production process arrangement, genetic algorithm, production line balance, production line simulation
