Abstract
The production processes in the clothing industry are labor-intensive; as such, efficiency is reduced due to human error and fatigue. This study aims to streamline the manufacturing process of the clothing industry to improve efficiency. The study employs line balancing, layout redesign, and value stream mapping to improve efficiency and reduce waste in a clothing industry production line. The study results indicate improved efficiency and productivity due to waste elimination. It
is recommended that process improvement tools such as takt time monitoring, line balancing, and layout design be implemented in clothing industries to reduce waste and improve productivity.
