This article presents applied research on line balancing within the modern garment industry, focusing on the significant impact of intelligent hanger systems and hanger lines on the stitching process, by Lean Methodology for garment modernization. It explores the application of line balancing in the modern garment industry, focusing on the significant impact of intelligent hanger systems and hanger lines on the stitching process. It aligns with Lean Methodology principles for garment modernization. Without the implementation of line balancing technology, the garment manufacturing process using hanger systems cannot improve output rates. The case study demonstrates that implementing intelligent line balancing in a straightforward practical setup facilitates lean practices combined with a digitalization system and automaton. This approach illustrates how to enhance output and reduce accumulated work in progress.

Lean Methodology for Garment Modernization. This article presents the lean methodology for modernizing garment manufacturing, focusing on lean thinking, lean practices, automation development, VSM, and CRP, and how to integrate them effectively. While isolated automation of specific operations can improve efficiency and reduce cycle time, it does not necessarily enhance overall garment output and efficiency. To achieve these broader improvements, it is essential to consider the entire production line and process using VSM and CRP to optimize production and center balance. This approach can increase efficiency, and reduce manufacturing costs, labor time, and lead time, ultimately adding value to the company and factory.
