Study the system and Identify the Constraint.
The project addresses the problems of

semi-organized apparel manufacturing firms
which work with low system performance and
conditions of extreme variability in all forms.
The application is specific to the plant where it
was implemented but the underlying principles
are generic and will remain valid in any other
manufacturing system.
Design an exploitation strategy for the

constraint by creating logically consolidated
production cells.
Subordinate all processes to the constraint by
determining buffers and buffer management.
Lead times and inventories can be reduced

For smaller order, the small line is preferred because of the small through put time.
For larger and stable order, bigger line is preferred because generally more the number of machines
pitch time would be better.
Line balancing should be such that the machine utilization of the costly machines is higher.
Irrespective of the line size better the line balancing, more profits will be there.
